My former trainer from almost a decade ago is still competing. The last 4-5 years competing, he's come in from 15th in the country, to 4th, and he's almost 40. It should be inspiring to the young pups out there,.....we still got it, even in our 30's and 40's. Way to go!

That's awesome!

I think it's great, not to mention it gives me encouragement. I'm going to touch base with him again for some motivation too. I haven't trained with him in years, but it's nice to see he's still at it, and I found pics of him magazines,....it's kind of neat. And I know so many people who drop out, it's really neat to see how he's not only NOT dropped out but improved with age!

Very true. Many people just stop. It's so easy to just stop. It takes real motivation to keep going!

I get the impression from this board that any of us over 30, we probably roamed with the dinosaurs......
