CITY A.M. READERS TAKE ON A TRIATHLON: WHAT OUR TEAM LAUREUS RECRUITS SAID
LAURA RAWSTRON | CITIGROUP
It’s a daunting experience to reflect on. It really seems a great antidote to a world of such turbulent markets; what with the feelings of dignity, self-esteem, discipline and, of course, meeting some like-minded friends, it’s somehow enriching.

The chance to race in the heart of London was too big a draw to give up. Plus, having done a triathlon once before, I was really keen on having a go at Olympic distance for the first time. I particularly enjoyed the cycling part. Actually, I somehow managed to complete an extra lap of the cycling course!

It was really good to race past Buckingham Palace, but it was the crowd that really stuck out for me. London is a really superb city for support. Laureus is a terrific initiative. The main thing is just to keep calm. And if anything solid gets in your mouth during the swim – be sure to spit it out.
