Rev Kate Bottley: Open Water Swimming -The vodka shot of exercise
If you have ever been at war with your body\nIf you have ever been afraid of taking on a challenge because of what others might think\nIf you were picked last in PE when you were at school\nIf you\u2019ve got to grips, you\u2019re getting to grips or you\u2019ve never got to grips with open water swimming or running, or cycling,\xa0\nIf you just want a bit of a feel-good giggle\nThen the Inside Tri Show with Reverend Kate Bottley is for you.\nBBC radio presenter and former Goggle Box star Rev Kate Bottley says she is evangelical about two things: Jesus and Open Water swimming. And while wild swimming has given the 45-year-old Vicar more confidence, she says she was still \u2018at war with her body\u2019 when she agreed to do Dare2Tri - three triathlons in three days for Comic Relief in March 2020. Before signing up the challenge, Kate had never run in public, ridden a bike or swum in a wetsuit.\nThis a really uplifting interview, full of giggles, honesty about body image and reassurance that it\u2019s ok to feel a bit sad and miserable at the moment.\nPLUS\nHear the latest update from British professional triathlete David McNamee who is on Week 7 of lockdown in Girona, due to Coronavirus\nLike the show?\nPlease share this with a friend, get involved on social media, by following Inside Tri Show on\xa0Twitter\xa0and\xa0Instagram, subscribe and\xa0leave a review in Apple.\nFind out more about this week\u2019s guests\nRev Kate Bottley\nDavid McNamee\nSkipping video\nIf you've turned to skipping during lockdown, why not give this new skipping video a go?\nShow Sponsors\nHuge thanks to\xa0Sports Tours International\xa0\xa0(Sports Travel International\xa0if you\u2019re in Ireland) for their on-going support, despite the challenging times at the moment.\nSports Tours International are the official European travel partner for Challenge Roth, giving customers the chance of securing a sought after guaranteed entry\xa0for the iconic race through one of Sports Tours International's travel packages.\nFind out more about their partnership with Challenge Roth here.\nOryon Connect\nOryon Connect\xa0is a free introductions service, so if you\u2019re injured or struggling with pain, they\u2019ll connect you with top healthcare practitioners in London.\xa0Oryon have put extra strict safety measures in place and continue to stay open\xa0during the Coronavirus pandemic and all 3 of their services are available.
