I had no idea Jeremy Clarkson lost so much weight.
I envy having knees like that
I think the secret is to be building joint strength by running for 40 years.
It's funny, I want to beat his record now, but know it is impossible - I would have had to start competing in triathlons 20 years ago. It's highly doubtful that I'll be doing triathlons in my 80's, 40 years from now.
Yeah like Nath said, running regularly actually strengthens your knees. It's only bad if you try to go from not running to running a lot all in one go.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Come hell or high water, Peter O'Neill always competes in the Noosa Triathlon.
Despite recently battling shingles, sciatica, COVID and enduring a hernia operation, the 72-year-old was determined to take part in today's event to honour his yearly ritual.
More than 220 athletes took part in the inaugural event, including 79 individual competitors and 48 teams.
Today's triathlon will see about 8,500 triathletes take on the gruelling course, which consists of a 1.5-kilometre swim, 40-kilometre bike and a 10-kilometre run.
Ms van Pooss said Mr O'Neill's efforts were inspiring.
Mr O'Neill trains year-round for the event, and enjoys the social side just as much as the physical benefits.
