Elite triathletes in ‘Ironman Hawaii’ get older but faster In an earlier work we were able to show that the age-class patients at ‘Ironman Hawaii’ were getting better over the years. The question now turned out if the top of the ‘Ironman Hawaii’ was better.As expected, the top ten over the years became more and better.
Surprisingly, the peak people over the years were also older. The age of the top ten in women rose from 26 ± 5 years in 1983 to 35 ± 5 years in 2012.For men, the age of 27 ± 2 years rose to 34 ± 3 years.According to definition, the top ten on the ‘Ironman Hawaii’ would have already been divided as ‘Master Athletes’.
