FAST TRACK Tamara Gordon An Extra Year

May 14, 2020
Team USA Triathlete Tamara Gorman won two World Triathlon Championships — one as a junior and one as an Under 23 competitor. In 2019 she medaled in three Triathlon World Cups. Tamara had her sights on making the Tokyo Olympic Team. Then, in mid-February, she had surgery throwing that into question.

Fully recovered, she’s now taking advantage of the extra year before Tokyo to get stronger and better. For right now she offers a wise goal of just training to be the best each day.

I invited Tamara to be on the podcast because she is an athlete not entirely sad that the Olympics were postponed. I’m interested to hear her thoughts about all that and how she’s managing training these days. We also talk about finding water to swim in, training by feel and by data, and traveling by plane and car to get home.
