GB Agegroup Triathlete Andy Holladay
Welcome along to another episode of the Agegroup Multisport Podcast.
On this episode, we speak to Andy Holliday, Gb age group triathlete and duathlete.
Andy states "Previously had done marathons and other running events and before that had done a lot of time trials and road races and mtb events.
I started multisport at the London Duathlon in Richmond in 2018, and got a reasonable result, like I finished mid-pack but it was enough to raise the idea of what was possible. My brother was at this time competing in Ironman events and mentioned the age-group with British Tri. A bit of investigation and it seemed like a possibility. Next event was Oulton Park a qualifier. While I was outside of qual time I was close enough to start to think it was possible. Next up was Stockton Duathlon and on a grim day I bagged a spot on the age-group team.
Then COVID hit and my event was repeatedly postponed before finally getting to compete at Aviles. That was a mental journey almost not going 2 weeks before as I believed I wasn't good enough etc. classic imposter stuff.
First experience of AG team was amazing, loved the event the race the build up wandering around the town seeing other athletes in GB kit.
This year I had qualified for Vichy in Standard Triathlon, got there in the best shape I had been in, super confident of being able to deliver a great performance. Unfortunately my race lasted less than 3 minutes due to a cold shock panic attack in the water. Really interesting about how this impacted me and rather than throwing me off has provided greater motivation to compete.
Qualified again last year for Middle Distance and Standard Duathlon for the upcoming Pontevedra, also aiming for the cross duathlon qualification.
The big goal is the Zofingen Long Distance in Sept 2025. Also maybe a half and marathon PB as well.
Outside of triathlon I am a performance and leadership coach and work a lot with talking about how the mind impacts performance either positively or negatively and how to harness this."
Really interesting to chat about his mental issues and how he has worked them through.
hope you enjoy his journey.
