Taylor Spivey: Family and Friendship - a podcast by Helen Murray

Taylor Spivey studied architecture at University and ‘never in a million years’ thought she would end up becoming a professional triathlete! But after swimming through her degree and starting to dabble in triathlon, she showed she had talent beyond the pool. She won the USAT Collegiate National Championships and got onto the USA Triathlon National Team. 2019 was her best season to date, with two WTS podiums and a 4th place finish in the World Rankings. She heads into 2020 with high hopes of securing a spot on Team USA for Tokyo 2020.
You’ll hear:*How she managed to combine swimming with architecture studies at University, with copious 4am starts
*About her mum teaching her how to swim and how she still makes pointers about her technique!*The devastation of missing out on Olympics selection the first time, by 7s at the Tokyo test event
*Her “cardio brain” struggles when she is completely knackered*How she and Vince Luis first got together, how they make the long distance work and why she can’t wait to explore Girona on a gravel bike
