Today we are chatting with Adventure Racer, Kathryn Morland, who competed in the recent World’s Toughest Race which was featured on Amazon Prime video.
I met Kathryn through the local running group. I have the watched her journey from being a local runner and then watched her move through to orienteering, mountain biking and then adventure racing.
She found her love for adventure and the outdoors by accident and then continued to push the boundaries of what her mind and body could do.
By day she runs her Town Planning business and in her free time, she focuses on anything to do with the outdoors. After I found out that she was doing the race, I waited intently to watch it on Amazon.
The race itself was based in Fiji and it is a 670km plus event where 50 odd teams of 4 race against each other against the clock. There is open water paddling, stand up paddle boarding, mountain bikes, thunderstorms, cliffs, waterfalls and plenty of mud. Throw that in the mix with checkpoints to reach, time deadlines to meet and then getting along with your teammates and you get a recipe for a TV show.
Kathryn shares her experiences on how she got to be a competitor in the race. She also shares with me some intimate details of where she has come from. She touches on some of her past and how far she has come. Very few people would know her story and more of this information can be unpacked, but the message is a positive one. She is one amazing lady. She is testament to the fact that when you set your mind to something that is worthwhile, it can be done. She has had many challenges in her life and at different points in it, the end result could well have been very different.
Her message is one of hope and positivity. She made a decision to change her life and started off with small steps. This is her message. Change doesn’t need to be big. It just needs a decision and then the small steps that come from it will create the change. Once small steps have been achieved these leads to bigger ones.
We love her story and we love the way she leads her life. Now what does all this have to do with living a digital life you may ask? Well, the reason the show exists is because it is a streaming series on Amazon.
And the reason I knew Kathryn was competing was because of social media
And now, she gets to share her story on a Podcast.
Until Episode 12, Live Work Digital….Peace.
