The Radio 2 Dare2Tri Challenge for Sport Relief

Wake up and embrace the day with Zoe Ball and the team! Zoe speaks to Jo, Rev Kate and Richie before they start their Sport Relief challenge. Plus it’s The Why Workshop!

Wake up and embrace the day with Zoe Ball! Zoe catches up with the Dare2Tri triathlon team of Jo Whiley, Rev Kate Bottley and Richie Anderson before they start their Sport Relief Challenge in Cardiff!

The challenge will see the trio take on freezing cold open water swims, punishing cycle routes and energy sapping runs in three different UK cities, across three nations, in just three days and the money raised will help tackle issues such as homelessness, domestic abuse, mental health stigma and child poverty.

Plus it’s The Why Workshop, and Zoe quizzes the QI Elves with more wonders and ponders, including your questions about whales and scratch and sniff paper.

Along with Tina Daheley on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, Zoe and the team have the best start to your morning.

There's also a daily Pause For Thought from Jahnavi Harrison and 12 year old triathlete Billie calls in to tell us all about her sporting efforts and offer advice to Richie!

Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

Writer and Musician, Jahnavi Harrison:

I was talking to a friend the other day who was telling me that after many, many years of wishing she could live near her sister, they were finally able to move to the same country – just walking distance from each other.

Six months and a new baby later, the sister and her family are having to move abroad again. My friend's been heartbroken and we were discussing why it can seem so hard to just have things - simple things, the way we want them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining...it's more of an observation of the way life seems to flow. I feel blessed and I'm grateful for everything, but I do see that even in the relative ease of my First World life, and the lives of so many I know...there's always something...a bit off.Β 

Sometimes things do seem to be just right - but that never lasts very long! A mentor of mine calls it 'sand in the ice cream' - I can still eat it, and kind of enjoy it, but I have to tolerate some crunchy stuff...Β 

And it's been a particularly rough start to the year for the world. If not on the news, in the lives of my friends, family and broader religious community - one thing after the other - no time to recover as they overlap and fight for my attention.

I try to keep my head afloat, and focus on what's going right - and there is so much of it! But especially on days where that feels difficult, I take a deep breath and say 'I surrender'. I know I have no control over the outcome of anything; I can't see the future, or change the past; and I'm limited in so many ways. But I also believe - I'm a spiritual being having a human experience. My life is meant for growth and transformation and learning. I always remember Nat King Cole singing in the song Nature Boy - 'the greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return'.

I don't think surrender's just a passive acceptance, but learning to love God and everything and everyone he sends my way. To keep moving with courage and compassion, and to appreciate the ice cream -- even if it does have a bit of sand in it...
