Laura Siddall - Training, Racing & Rehab across the hemispheres
This week we’re joined by 5 x Iron distance Champion, Professional Triathlete Laura Siddall. Born and raised in the UK Laura has since experienced life as an athlete in many countries, from Australia to San Francisco, New Zealand and now her current base of Girona, Spain. But as a self-confessed ‘nomadic' athlete it's not all perfect weather, enviable training environments and learning languages over a good coffee (although these are a few perks). The life of a travelling professional brings its challenges and even more so for Laura over the past few years experiencing two significant injuries and the world coming to a halt with a global pandemic. Aside from her impressive performances and upcoming races, we discuss her pre-triathlon life as an Engineer, her ‘British’ food habits, new pillows and the awkward question of what life might look like after triathlon. Laura is a generous mentor, an active ambassador and an inspiring role model to many in and out of the sport, and it’s clear she has absorbed the knowledge and experience she’s been exposed to along her journey so far. She’s open, honest and hardworking - a great listen!
