Gregor under the spotlight
We posed some questions to Gregor at the end of the 2017 season.
What age did you do your first triathlon? 10 years old, seems like a lifetime ago.
After 8 years racing in triathlon what would be your favorite pre-race meal (morning or evening before)? It's normally cold pasta (oddly), not sure why it has just become part of the routine.
Is there a particular pre-race ritual (habits/routine) you like to follow? I don't tend to have a ritual, but I make sure I don't get too worked up or stressed about a race by just talking to other people.
Coach BB looks after your training program what is the most enjoyable training session you do + why? I love hard run sessions, such as 8x1km at 5km pace it's a great feeling when you get the pacing right and you feel strong.
If that's the most enjoyable what is your least enjoyable training session + why? I hate long bikes (4+ hours) without good company, I need someone to keep me going over the longer rides.
Over the years you have competed in many races which is your most enjoyable race + why ? I really enjoyed the triathlon relays we did this year in mid September, the format followed the new mixed relays format which is making it's debut at the next Olympics, I really enjoyed the format and hopefully we will be racing this format again in 2018.
What would be you most memorable triathlon experience + why? Racing with Alistair Brownlee at Blenheim triathlon, I found myself on the same start-line with Alistair, and if I hadn't have punctured I reckon I would have given him a run for his money...(haha).
When you started your triathlon journey if you had to give yourself one piece of race advise what would it be? Don't get too stressed before races, at the end of the day it's just a one race.
What is the biggest buzz you get from triathlon? I love the feeling of finishing a race well, when it all comes together and you cross the finish line thinking 'I couldn't have done any more'.
