Peaking in mid-life and pushing beyond your limits

Would you say you've reached the prime of your life yet? Have you peaked? It's a question that starts to creep in around mid-life when you've settled into your career, perhaps built a family, and ticked off some of the big milestones. Your body might start to feel a little slower — and creakier. The world has a quiet way of suggesting: this might be as good as it gets.But middle age doesn't have to be a slow fade. For one woman who took on Australia's most intense endurance cycling event in her 50s, it was a time to push the limits.
