About Two Old Girls

Annette and Jan are, in the words of a bygone era, ladies of a certain age. But if you think ladies of a certain age are content to sit in a chintzy armchair, knitting woolly jumpers and watching “The Young and The Restless” on TV – then you haven’t met Annette and Jan. Jan is Australian, a former professional Ironman triathlete, an Active Release Therapy practitioner and has no intention of slowing down. Annette is a New Zealander, a keen age-group Ironman competitor, a journalist and also has no intention of slowing down. The purpose of this site is to encourage ladies of a certain age that life is just beginning. Jan is coaching Annette to take part in her 18th Ironman race at Penticton in Canada; and we’ll be following that progress. Along the way, they’ll be sharing their thoughts from both sides of the coaching experience. They’ll also be talking about their approach to life, the universe and everything. So buckle up for the roller coaster!
