The TriNation Podcast Ep7

For this weeks episode, we welcomed on GB triathlete Chloe Cook. Chloe has represented Great Britain at an incredibly high level, that includes the World Under 23 Championships.

She spoke about being born straight into a triathlon environment with her dad, Glenn Cook, being 1989 World Silver Medalist and her mum, Sarah Coope, being 1991 Ironman Hawaii World Championships Bronze Medalist. However, with this and a lot of success at a young age, came a lot of pressures, which ultimately led her to actually step away from the sport.

She then reignited this passion for triathlon whilst at University, quickly regained fitness and pulled off some very impressive results. Her continued journey from there, however, has not been without its setbacks of injuries and she gave us a reflection on the challenges that come with this from a mental perspective and how you have to adapt to overcome these moments.
