Just because you are getting older doesn't mean you can't compete. Just because you've traveled around the Sun more times than your younger competitors doesn't mean they can necessarily beat you. In fact, some older athletes have quite a bit more stamina than the younger folks, and a higher threshold for pain tolerance. Having more life experience to draw from also helps, simply because adversity builds character. Today, I am 50+ but like many my age I don't feel it, and even if I can legally get my American Assoc. of Retired Person's card in a few years, I feel 35. Feeling Young is half the part when it comes to competing in senior athletic events.
