82-year-old triathlete: ‘Outlive the competition’
Jack Sutcliffe, 82, trains for the Dam 09 Triathlon on a recent Saturday morning in the Hollywood Park area.Jack Sutcliffe doesn’t let his age slow him down.
Competitors are broken up by age group starting at 15 years and younger, 16 to 19, and on up in five-year increments until the 80-plus range. Soler said that the race used to only go up to 70-plus before avid triathletes like Sutcliffe shook things up.Sutcliffe said he first got into running in the 1960s during his 23-year Air Force career. He competed in marathons, half-marathons and an “uncountable number” of 5K and 10K runs. He ran his first triathlon in 1999.
Running and cycling are always part of his weekly workouts, though, and he has two groups of San Antonio friends that he goes with. They run between 2.5 and 4 miles Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Sutcliffe hops on his bike on Sundays and rides between 20 and 40 miles.
