I wonder why also. Maybe part of the answer is somewhere in why do you still compete (kudos, by the way)? You enjoy it, you feel good, you have time? I’m in my forties now, and I see this a little in my age range so, actually I look forward to competing later I will actually rank much higher than I do now (ha!).

i have noticed a trend, confirmed by age group results in Triathlon Life magazine, of women over 50 falling out of the ranked athletes. i have seen fewer women in their 50’s in races, and i wonder why? menopause? different focus? life changes for men as well, but there are still a full page of ranked competitors listed, and my husband can never win, because in every major race, there are many men in their late fifties who still run/bike/swim like champs. lucky for me, i show up, and there are maybe 5 women my age, ready to go for it.

Natascha Badmann is a truly inspirational Female triathlon, thank you for sharing this quote with us! Going to the Canary Islands to train sure would be a fantastic training location!
