Elite triathletes in ‘Ironman Hawaii’ get older but faster We have analyzed the relationship between age and performance for the top ten finishers on Ironman Hawaii.The work was published in the Journal Age, see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23591938/. The results are of practical significance for the athlete.For example, the Triathlet Graeme Stewart, winner of the Celtman 2013, commented on his blog our data, see http://www.graemestewart.com/race-your-age-age-of-peak-performance-in-different-events/. The Economic Student Øystein Hernæs, who is currently studying at the Department of Economics at the European University Institute in Florence, has taken our numbers in his blog, see https://oeysteinmhernaes.com/2014/09/05/aging-ironmen/.
It is important for us to see that we publish for the practitioner and enduser (athlete and coach), not for the library!
