Jenny is a mother of 2 who is all smiles on and off the race course. She started running in 2013 to get in shape and it quickly turned into a passion. In less than a year she completed multiple races including her first half marathon and then quickly discovered triathlons. She has since completed 5 half Ironmans and a full Ironman. She is a triathlon coach who enjoys being able to help others achieve their goals and also help start a local triathlon group with friends so they can all train together. Jenny hasn't stopped with just triathlons, she has also found a love for weight lifting, mud runs and Crossfit. She has even exposed her two children to the world of fitness and gets them training with her any chance she can.
