Before I started this a year ago, I used to think I was in shape. The more I learned, and the more I trained, things changed. The bar was raised, and now I am not in the same league as the average Joe, but those guys don't matter anymore. I'm up against the best of the best. Super athletes. So just because I can run a 5K in 20 minutes means nothing compared to the elite. That's what I think of. I have to be far beyond my old idea of fit to make it. There are guys out there like these Ironman athletes who are going for the same thing I am. Keep pushing.

TFM:
The question was whether a 37 y/o could make it in SF.
Are you concealing an SF career from us, or are you just jumping in with an opinion where you have no personal knowledge to pump up your post count?
Have you successfully completed the SFQC? Reading about it is not an acceptable substitute. Some of us have walked that path, for better than two decades.
If you are not an SF soldier, there are more factors in replying to this question that you have any idea of.
Please feel free to keep your opinions to yourself in the future in the SF forums unless you have expertise in the area.
Have a very SF day.
