@jc76 Way to advocate for yourself and get the treatment you wanted. As far as transrectal, it's not the end of the world by a long shot. Just an eye opener when you're new to all of this.

Wow-sprint triathlons! I'd love to be do that someday. Got the bike riding and swimming down solid...but not much of a runner.

@fritzo
My running is very limited. I race walk as running bothers my back (old football injury). What I do on flat and inclines I race walk, and slope down I jog. Yep far in the back but I do them to finish not beat the younger troops.

I am in the 75-79 age group. Not many of us there. So when I cross the finish line I get a finish medal. Then at awards since only about 4-5 of us racing at that age I usually wind up with a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, placing in my age group and get another placement award.

I am 79 this year and looking forward to next year as will be 80. Over the years I have done these only seen 1 person in above 80 division. They don't even do a 80-85 just above 80. Guess trying to tell us something about the age group.

As I mentioned many poster say transrectal not an issue for them. Then some real nightmare especially those that got an infection. For me just glad did not have to find out if big deal for me or not.
Take care
