Name: Laura Cheek / Lavra Cheek (long story)
Age: 29
Occupation: Buyer at All Pets Considered
Years doing triathlon? 2021 was my first year!
First Triathlon? 2021 Trivium High Point Sprint Triathlon
Your favorite triathlon? I’ve only done three so far, but Natty Greene Sprint has been my favorite!
Meal the night before race? Quinoa, Chickpea “egg”, Potatoes, and salsa- sounds weird but it’s actually really good!
Pre-Race Meal? I’m terrible about eating in the mornings because of nerves, but I’ll eat a banana with peanut butter, and toast.
Race Nutrition? I’ve only done sprints so I haven’t needed any race nutrition. But I’d love some suggestions for my races coming up!
Favorite motivational training song? Anything Missy Elliot!
Favorite mantra? You can do hard things
Key Workout? Every workout- They all add up to something!
Best Triathlon training or racing tip? I see the best results when I am consistent with my training. But also, if need an unscheduled day off- that is necessary too because life is a bit crazy sometimes. It’s all about having fun and doing what you love!
Triathlon literature or other sources of information? I enjoy the USA Triathlon magazine I get, but I’ve gained the most knowledge coming to the TTT events!
Who inspires you? All the ladies who rock the races.
Future goal or bucket list race? I hope to do the Patriot 70.3 in September and hopefully a full Ironman sometime in the future!
If you see Laura/Lavra, be sure to congratulate her on being our AOM!
