Passions keep 59-year-old triathlete on track

May 8, 2007

Orland, FL , - Fitness pioneer Sally Edwards -- for 30 years one of the best endurance athletes in the world -- has a message for unfit America. Stop dieting. Start moving. “Losing weight is very, very hard and takes a very long time,” she says. “And dieting alone, the research shows, is typically not sustainable. But an active, healthy lifestyle is sustainable. And once you start exercising, the eating -- and often the smoking and the drinking and the watching too much TV -- will take care of themselves.”

Heart Zones Octogenarian Fits in College

January, 2006

Prosper Magazine, Sacramento, CA - Seven decades after she taught him to operate one, Paul Camerer didn’t have much use for typewriters. That was true in the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s when he kept maintenance records for the B-29 Superfortress bombers and other aircraft he fixed and test-piloted. He continued to avoid typing as a teacher, running Folsom High School’s auto shop after putting in 20 years with the Air Force.
 
     When most people of his generation would be more likely playing dominos or knitting, Paul Camerer is finally touch-typing computer keyboards just the way Miss Sullivan taught him in 1936. Not content to send off the odd email or print out letters to his 90-year-old sister, Pauline, Camerer is studying the finer points of manipulating data on Microsoft Access database software at Sacramento City College.

But dabbling is never enough for Camerer. At 87, he still runs 5k races (he ran marathons and ultra-marathons, such as the American River 50, into his 60s) and takes tandem bike trips of 100-plus miles. Every Monday and Thursday, he and longtime pal Sally Edwards head out before dawn to ride atop the American River Parkway levee. It’s all part of Camerer’s strategy of staying a lap ahead of the Grim Reaper as far into the race as possible. More...
