Meet Lauren – new to Triathlon

Lauren has just started with F4L Triathlon Coaching.  She has a strong background in swimming, but has recently taken up Triathlon.  Aiming to be competitive... this is her story:

Why do you do Triathlon:

Triathlon has always appealed to me, it takes 3 sports I enjoy and puts them together. I love the challenge!

What is your sporting back ground:

From a very young age I was a competitive swimmer. I have raced at British Nationals both open water and in the pool.

Eight years ago I began playing underwater hockey, I’ve gone on to represent GB ladies in European and World Championships.

What attracted you to F4L:

I wanted a coach who could understand my hectic lifestyle and fit a training programme around it, whilst allowing me to gain confidence and reach my triathlon goals.

I had been recommended Coach Paul from F4L Triathlon Coaching by a few fellow triathletes.

What are your targets:

My first goal is to grow in confidence with cycling and running.  Fundamentally though, I want to enjoy competing in triathlons.

My ultimate goal is to go to a competition as a competitor.

Favourite motivational quote:

“The only limit to our realisation of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.”

Favourite training song / music track:  Rockabye - Anne-Marie
