Name and Age
Hayden Allan, 15 years old.
What are your triathlon goals?
My main goal is to enjoy the sport and compete at a high level for as long as I can. I’m aiming for nationals but the main dream is to qualify for Kona.
What does a day look like for you?
I train Monday to Thursday nights and also on weekends.
Any tips or tricks?
3 slices of honey, jam or peanut butter toast before every training session works a treat.
What’s the best advice you’ve heard?
Break your race down into simple processes, focus on each one and then nail them. Then you improve.
What’s your favourite thing about triathlon?
The satisfaction. After so much training and then being able to see that come to life in a race, where you hopefully do well, makes all the hard times worth it.
