Episode Four: Am I too old to try a new sport?

Sport? Me, really?

In this week’s episode, again recorded before the November lockdown (and at the mercy of some very noisy squalls of rain outside the summer house - apologies), we discuss what is involved in taking up a new sport, even if you don’t have a history of being sporty; why you might give it a try; the social and health benefits it can bring; and where this could lead.

We are delighted to be interviewing Anne Bennett who relatively recently found she enjoyed triathlon and has now worked her way up and competed for the British Age Group Team at both the European and World Triathlon Championships.
