I've been doing competitive sports for over half a century. Shit wears out. I can maintain my strength, but old injuries come back to haunt me. I've lost some speed and reaction time, and quite a bit of vertical leap. All that is balanced out. Decades of proper training provides a lot of muscle memory and great technique, particularly for boxing.

What I do hate is the reduced skin elasticity. I try to lose weight slowly in any case, but it takes a long time for skin to tighten up compared to a few decades ago.

STILL all better than the alternative. 😃
