Flashy sports cars are out, now no mid-life crisis is complete without a

Every weekend, across the nation's rolling countryside, watch out for the

I like this part:
"Even better is the Mamil's solution to saddle sores. A teenage shop
assistant in a too-posh-to-pedal London shop tried to sell me some balm for
￡30. What's the point of that, I asked. I've got loads of unused nappy rash
cream at home. He thought I was terminally uncool. I know better son, learn
from your elders." |

Men who turn into mid-life fitness fanatics may actually be HARMING their
health
MAMILs (Middle-Aged Men In Lycra) are on the rise
They exercise vigorously to lose weight and stave off heart attacks
New evidence shows there is a threshold that, if passed, can be dangerous
A new study shows that middle-aged men who run marathons are at much greater
risk of cardiac arrest
41% of men who exercise have had to quit due to an injury |

不得不承认玩三项玩铁人（玩自行车）是个很花钱的爱好。有人统计过铁人的平均收入
为$17万5，花在这运动上的平均年开销$2万2，光自行车这一项的开销就占一半以上。

“Forty is the new 20,” said John Duke, who publishes the monthly magazine
in San Diego. “And in triathletes, 40 isn’t old. The median age of the
sport is 41.”
“Triathletes are a discerning group of alpha consumers, with $175,000
average salaries,” said Erik Vervloet, vice president for sports marketing
at K-Swiss, which jumped into the tri-market three years ago. “The average
Ironman spends $22,000 a year on the sport.”
