Andrea Hansen about her husband dying in bed next to her || Runners Only! Podcast with Dom Harvey
Episode Description
EP28 Runners Only! with Dom Harvey & Andrea Hansen (nee Hewitt)
On the day this episode was released, Andrea had just competed in the Birmingham Commonwealth Games. At the age of 40 and with a toddler, it may be the last time we ever see this triathlon legend wearing the black lycra.
We talk about her incredible career spanning almost 2 decades, how she stayed fit during her recent pregnancy, giving birth WHILE nursing a broken arm, the time she finished a Triathalon after breaking her collarbone, the sudden death of her partner in France a few years back and much more.
She's pretty shy and modest so talking about herself is not something that comes easy to Andrea. With that in mind, I really appreciate her making the time to sit down to chat.
Hope you guys enjoy it.
