In today's episode, we speak with Sam Laidlow about...

• Growing up in sport
• Dealing with GI Distress & Training his Gut
• How he mapped out a hydration & nutrition plan for a top bike finish at Kona

Sam Laidlow (born December 23, 1998 in Oakley, Bedfordshire.) is a French professional triathlete. Runner-up in the Ironman World Championship last October in Hawaii, Sam Laidlow made history with the best French performance.

At the age of 13, he decided to leave his home in Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda to join the National High Altitude Training Center in Font-Romeu. 3 years later, Sam was selected to train alongside the French team in Montpellier. At the age of 17, he returned to his family in Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda and began to be coached by his father Richard Laidlow.

His debut in long-distance triathlon was very promising. In 2019, he won the Lakesman long-distance triathlon, and in 2021, he won the first edition of the TradeInn 140.6Inn in Spain, a support event for the Spanish long-distance championship. That same year, he took second place in the French long-distance championships.

With his strengths being the first two disciplines of triathlon (swimming and cycling), Sam is often known for being at the front of the races assuming a more aggressive racing style. Sam also represented Team Europe at the 2nd edition of The Collins Cup in Samorin.
