Get to know Jenna

I started running just shy of a decade ago and one thing led to another and I found the sport of Triathlon. I love the local community and I love the challenge of training and competing. It inspires me to be the best version of myself.

I already feel like I’ve bragged enough but I love to constantly push myself to get better. I have some time goals for myself in the future and I’d like to run the 6 major marathons, but I also just like getting lost in the woods and running for hours on end. My achievements are just as much about finding inner peace and happiness as they are about crushing races and goals!

I love working with local companies that are staffed by THE BEST people. They also make the best product 

I think anyone training for an ironman can attest to the long training swims and how arduous they can be. Having music has been such a help in finding the motivation to get them done. Another major plus is safety- running and riding and being able to hear what is going on around me is so important.

I have this playlist I’ve been curating for many years and it’s called “Cadence”. It helps me keep a tempo of about 7:45 minute per mile. You might call it unhinged; It will switch from Chopin to Lamb of God, Taylor Swift to Big Sean, Michael Jackson to Modest Mouse, Tove Lo to Panic! At the Disco. It also includes the Star Wars theme song.

Swimming is my weakest sport, and I used to regularly skip swims, or shorten them. I never do anymore (except when I leave my H20 Audio Headphones at home!). Now that I’ve been putting in work on my swim, I love when a good tempo song comes on and helps me get the turnover in my stroke.

You are capable of so much more than you think. Keep moving forward!
