Introducing fisiocrem sponsored athlete Lauren, a nationally recognised Triathlete based in Queensland.
Lauren has been participating in triathlons for many years and enjoys the diverse challenges they present to both her body and mind. “I’ve found that if you just start, you’ll often complete something you didn’t think you could.”
Lauren’s greatest achievement so far has been completing the 2024 World Triathlon Multisport Championships in Townsville last week. This triathlon competition consisted of a 3km swim, a 115km bike ride, and a 30km run, all under the intense heat and humidity of Townsville. Lauren dominated her age group (Female 25-29) and placed 1st overall with a time of 6:18:18 to claim a podium finish.
Lauren says her biggest supporter is, “My family and friends, whose encouragement and selflessness are crucial to my successful triathlon journey.” On the sports side of things, Lauren’s training buddies, both near and far, motivate and push her to achieve her best. They also remind her of how far she has come and what she still has yet to achieve.
As a visual person, Lauren places her triathlon race suit and an A3-sized poster of her next race in her room. This way, during tough training sessions she can look at these items for motivation. Also, to physically prepare for a race, Lauren remains consistent with her daily training and focuses on the small details that make a difference.
Lauren says, “My favourite running destination would be Cairns or Townsville along the esplanade or a trail run in the bush/mountains. I enjoy the mix of both.”
LAUREN’S TOP RECOVERY TIPS
Lauren’s top recovery tips are, “Doing some form of super-aerobic activity, magnesium baths and resting in my recovery boots.”
