Interview with Matt Reed: winner of 2009 the Pan Am Triathlon Title

May 30, 2009

Listen to our Podcast of the week – An interview with Matt Reed after a training session this winter

Matt Reed was born in New Zealand but moved to the USA several years ago when his love for elite triathlete Kelly Rees brought him here. Competing for the USA, he won the Olympic Trials in 2008 and is currently ranked number one by USA Triathlon, and #21 in ITA world rankings. Disappointed in his performance in the Olympics, Matt is hoping to fare better in London as he gets stronger and more fit. Listen to what Matt had to say about mental conditioning, handling adversity and for his hopes for the future.

Its interesting to note that Matt’s favorite colors are Red and Black. He says that “Red looks fast, and Black looks dangerous.”
