I'm not exactly the average 66 year old. I still swim, bike, run and do martial arts, about the same as always.
I was 3rd in the world in the Beijing International Triathlon (BIT, Sprint Division) in 2018. I would have gone to the 2019 BIT, but the World Wushu Championships were the same weekend, in Shanghai. That's life.

Not great. Not terrible. Thing is, because of my martial arts training, my upper body has too much muscle to be a great long distance runner.

I've been competing in international triathlons for many years - see my CV for a list of at least some of them.
I've been in Thailand from October 17, 2021 when I entered on the Sandbox program, and swim, bike and run like usual, and still train at different Muay Thai schools - just a bit - and just for fun.
The photo at the top of this page is from about three months ago at Phuket Sinbi-Muay Thai - the gentleman next to me is the owner and manager. The photos below were all taken during the past two months here in Isan Region, northeast Thailand.
And yes, that's also me hoeing a sugar cane field, cutting sugar cane and on top of a sugar cane truck. Why? It's harvest season here and I like the outdoor exercise. I hope to stay active and working till I'm at least 100 years old. I might relax a little then, and just do sports and read a lot. Who knows?
