Here are several articles related to triathlon training and planning for seniors that I came across over the past month. Several of these from this month’s finds should also inspire you to become and stay fit.

• Local senior citizen breaks stereotypes of aging to become a Senior Olympian

In her early 60s, Barbara Bogart lost 70 pounds. Soon after, she started competing in track & field and cycling at the local and national Senior Games. After learning to swim, she began competing in triathlon. Since 2010, Barbara has qualified for the World Age Group Championships several times.

This year, at age 81, she took home the silver medal for triathlon at the National Senior Games.

Rather than slow down, Barbara appears to be getting stronger with age. Her story is amazing. It’s also a story of faith in God.
