Is 41 to old to get back in shape and start highland games?

In high school, I was on the basketball, tennis, rugby, and swim teams. I haven't exercised since college. But I'm throwing now, and loving it!

Speaking from my experience only, the group that I throw with, and the competitors that I have met in California and Arizona highland games, there are all types of people doing this. Men and women, younger college guys, older folks, skinny, fat, tall, short, body builders and weight lifters, cross fit and strongman competitors, different occupations and economic backgrounds. Some throw for the competition, some for the camaraderie, some for the exercise some for the social atmosphere.

The coolest thing that I have experienced about highland athletics is the family atmosphere and the lack of ego. The other competitors, even the judges, will give you pointers on how to do better. They cheer you on. The sportsmanship that I have witnessed is second to none.

Couild it be another "behold the power of the kilt" moment? Maybe!
