By Hilary JM Topper, MPA Deciding to train for a triathlon felt like a mix of excitement and madness.

- Triathlon For a Healthy Brain – Pat & Joan Hogan’s StoryThe physical exercise that accompanies endurance sports like triathlon supports a healthy brain. Just as our muscles adapt to the stress of weight training to become stronger, our brain adapts to new challenges. Most of us are familiar with some benefits of what Dr. Patrick Hogan calls “challenging exercise”. For example, we know that exercise promotes cardiovascular health. However, did you know that there is a 45% decrease in incidence of Alzheimer’s dementia in those who do an adequate duration and intensity of exercise consistently into older age?

- An Unlikely Triathlete – Craig Cross’s Story
Is there certain experience you must have as a senior before competing in your first triathlon?

By Jessica Perkins – In 2014 before my 58th birthday, I made the decision to complete a triathlon before my 60th birthday in June 2016.
