In the nearly three years that Seasoned Athlete has been in existence, we have interviewed athletes ranging in age from 40-92 years old. In this episode, we talk to someone who now officially holds the new record for oldest athlete to be on the show. Meet 93-year old Richard “Monty” Montgomery, a Ft. Lauderdale-based army vet, retired firefighter, husband, father of two, grandfather of eight and great grandfather of two.
Monty is the definition of late in life athlete AND young at heart. He ran his first triathlon at 48, first marathon at 58, went skydiving at 75, hang gliding at 89, bungee for his 90th birthday and now he’s doing Spartan Races.
He has never met a challenge he isn’t willing to face!
