>Triathlon vs Midlife Crisis
I've been running races and also swiming for years and i want to learn to be a triathlete. I just want to learn to swim in open waters since pool swimming is different and riding a triathlete bike but there's one small but big problem. I'm 41 and becoming a triathlete at my age could be considered that i'm going through a midlife crisis. People tell me the 40's are better than the 20's but many people i know that are my similar age are fat, out of shape and maybe low on stamina. Should i go for it or i'm just someone who should not practice physical activities, be a couch potato and use the elevator instead of the stairs because it makes me feel tired quick and always tell myself that i feel like 20 again?

Not sure what you're asking, are you saying you should be a fat slob who doesn't take care of himself because that will make you look old?
Anyway, my dad did triathalons when he was in his mid 40's to try and get back into shape. It was probably the best thing he ever did for himself, he was as healthy as he'd been in decades. I wish he would have stuck with it, now that he's had his heart surgeries and heart attacks he can't work out like he used to and has basically given up and decided to be a fat sack of shit the rest of his life.
I'd say do it anon, do it and keep doing it, be healthy now so you won't have as many issues later in life and fuck whoever is fucking stupid enough to say you're an old fart for bettering yourself.
Kids will find any reason to make fun of you, it's part of being a stupid fucking kid.

Sounds like you're decently confident that you're capable and just need the push to do it. Consider the fact that any serious replies will be telling you to do it the push you need.
