Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Triathlon Podcast
Health & Fitness
In this week’s podcast, I’m joined by a young lady who I’m certain will have a very exciting future in triathlon. Two years ago, Kat Matthews was a physiotherapist serving in the British Army and racing recreationally as a triathlete. At the end of 2019, she entered and finished her first Ironman at Busselton, West Australia finishing fourth female overall in a time of 8:53. She signed a full-time contract with the BMC-Vifit triathlon team for 2020 and like just about everyone else, it stopped there as the whole world was interrupted by the COVID pandemic.
Of course, she didn't stop training and posted some impressive results in 2020 winning some of the virtual events which took place during the summer as well as National 100mile TT Champion and IM Tallinn 70.3 before victory at Outlaw X in September where she stormed to first place, beating a strong domestic field. The best was yet to come as she then went to Ironman Florida won in 8hrs40 and in the process claiming a slot for Kona in 2021. This is a fun conversation with an up and coming athlete who has a great future as we chat about:
