Simon Ward and Georgia Taylor-Brown

This week I am so excited to welcome one of the world’s best female triathletes to the show. Georgia Taylor-Brown is a rising star, make no mistake about that. In her first full season in WTS triathlon she finished 3rd overall behind Vicky Holland and Katie Zaferes. That still only makes her the second best triathlete in the UK but she is on the up. It hasn’t always been this way. 4 years ago Georgia suffered an ankle injury which halted her career for almost 2 years. In our conversation this remarkable young lady will talk about:
- The devastating moment when the Doctor called to tell her about the first ankle injury
- Suffering more setbacks on the road to recovery
- When Georgia thought that having a nap would cure yet another foot issue
- Why injuries can be a good thing, and how to find the positives from them
- When you twist your ankle the day before you are due to race your first WTS event in your home city
- How even elite athletes suffer “impostor syndrome”, and that feeling when you are one of the leaders in a WTS race
- The GTB top 3 tips for successful racing
