Bob Jennings started CrossFit at 40 years old. Six years later, he became a CrossFit Games athlete, taking 9th in the 45-49-year-old division at the 2019 CrossFit Games.

He joined Sean Woodland to talk about what it's like to compete at a later stage in life, how just missing out on a trip to Madison in 2018 motivated him moving forward and why the masters community is so tightly knit.

He also shared how the Legends Masters Competition came to be and how he and his co-founders hope to make it the premier competition for masters athletes worldwide.
