Summary

Originally aired April 24, 2017

Anna-Marie Watson grew up in an outdoor-loving, adventurous family. The adventures continued into adulthood as she served nearly a decade in the British Army.

Upon leaving the military, she knew she did not want a standard job and a "normal" life so, what did she do? She flew to New Zealand to bicycle the country. This started a series of adventures that led her to compete in the world half Ironman, running (and winning second place female the Marathon De Sables.

She isn't slowing down either. She is currently training for The Ultra Trail Du Mont Blanc – a 171 km race around Mont Blanc. She offers coaching services as well through her company, Reach For More Coaching where she shares much about what it takes to build an adventure-focused lifestyle.

You know, I definitely challenge any of your listeners to kind of just do something different.

0:16.2

If you've had that kind of little niggle in the back of your mind that, oh, maybe I could do this.

0:19.5

Or I heard that so-so did this and maybe I could have a go, or, oh, I watched that show

0:23.5

when that person was doing blah, blah, blah, and it looked really cool. Well, go and do it.

0:30.9

This is the Adventure Sports Podcast, where we hear stories of adventure from every corner of the planet.

0:36.3

We interview all sorts of folks who are using their sport

0:39.3

to explore the world around them and give you the inspiration you need to get out there and have some fun.

0:44.3

Hey folks, hope you're having a good week so far. Today's episodes from 2017. It's with

1:00.9

Anna Marie Watson and she's been on the show before, but this is obviously a throwback Thursday episode,

1:08.2

but this is just interviewing her about her life. She served in the

1:12.4

British military for about 10 years. And then when she got out, she just didn't want to have a

1:17.2

normal life. So she biked across New Zealand and that just opened the floodgates of

1:22.1

adventures for her. And so she's obviously taken a very interesting path in life. And there's a lot to learn.

1:30.2

She's a great storyteller, great speaker, and obviously a lot of fun to listen to. So I hope you

1:35.3

enjoy this episode. And if, you know, if you're out there and you happen to be on an adventure

1:40.2

right now, we just want to encourage you you whether that's an adventure that's glamorous,

1:45.6

like, you know, a through hike or something not so glamorous, but that you would still call an

1:50.5

adventure. Maybe you're moving somewhere, changing jobs or going through something that is

1:56.5

new and challenging for you. Maybe you have a kid for the first time. I don't know. Just keep going, keep pushing, and you're going to have a story to tell once you get through it. And so, and that's about all we get at the end of this life for stories, because that's exactly what this show is, just a bunch of people's stories. So if we have a roll around here, I don't know how much we stick to it, but if it's going to make a good story, we're willing to go through it.

2:21.6

Sometimes it sounds like the dumbest thing in the world, but when I look back on my very short life, relatively speaking, the things I'm most proud of are definitely the stories I have now.
