Sometimes, just sometimes, taking the hard road is actually more rewarding. It exposes you to challenges that you wouldn't have faced otherwise, and it therefore makes you a better athlete. In this interview with triathlete Nick Carling, he talks about his unusual entry into the sport, and how a couple of ongoing health issues nearly forced a premature retirement from the sport he loves. It raises the really interesting question of, when is the right time to call it quits? There are some great lessons to be learnt from Nick's colourful journey, which everyone will be able to relate to in some way.To provide feedback on this episode, email me at [email protected] , or connect on the Insporation Podcast Facebook page.
