“In life, you don’t have control. You have influence…”
“Standing there at the waters edge…waiting for the gun to go off…my life can go in one or two directions…this is what shaped my adult life.” - Rob Hutchings
In this episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, Brian and Christine are headed to New Zealand! Get ready for an amazing conversation with an accomplished triathlete, marathon swimmer and author, Rob Hutchinson! After growing up in Newfoundland with an alcoholic father, Rob discusses how swimming and triathlon shaped his adult life and enabled him to live the life he deserved. Listen up as Rob describes his passion for marathon swimming and why he just can’t get enough of planning and executing some of the most challenging swim adventures in the world. You will not believe some of the feats Rob has completed! From swimming the length of New Zealand’s longest river, which happens to be 210 miles, to swimming 9 ½ hours straight in Lake Tekapo, Rob is just getting started. He also shares some unexpected swim stories, like when he lost a fight to a sea turtle, as detailed in his recent book, The Downriver Nomad: A Triathlete’s Adventures and Adversities into the Rapids. If you are ready to be inspired, or if you are ready to be amazed by the ability of the human body and mind, you will love this episode! …. And be sure to order his book!
