Train with a Coach who Knows What it Means to Tri
Coach Jen’s Journey to Becoming an Ironman
From a dare to a dream.
I have always been fascinated growing up and watching the Ironman World Championships on TV. Watching greats like Chris McCormack, Chrissie Wellington, and Craig Alexander push the limits on an island that shows no mercy. I thought they were special and were doing things mere mortals could not achieve. When the television recap started including “amateur” athletes I began to see that maybe this feat was not so out of reach. Still, I was young and naïve (and quite honestly broke) as to how to start my attempt at the impossible. Fast forward to a friendship and one who dared me to tri. “It’ll be fun,” Deb said. We committed to the Patriots Sprint Triathlon in September of 2010. I bought an entry level road bike that was a little too big, but it was two wheels and all that mattered. I got in the pool and found that just swimming to the other end of 25 meters was excruciating, but stuck with it thought myself capable for race day. Haha!
Just Keep Swimming.
Out of the 750 meter swim on race day I swam about 100 meters of it in freestyle and completed the remainder in breast stroke or side stroke, thinking “what the heck did I get myself into!” But setting my feet back onto land wasn’t going to be the end of my day no matter how terrible that swim experience. Crossing that finish line was going to be the beginning of getting bit by the “triathlon bug.” I might have been dead last. I might have felt like I was going to die, but it was one of the coolest moments of my life. I just completed a fraction of what the Ironman greats made to look like walking in the park.
Tri Harder.
Fast forward to 2020. After making the promise to myself to always “tri harder”, I taught myself how to swim (lots of YouTube…lots and lots of drills…and practice, practice and more practice), eventually invested in a well-fitted bike, and the run…well, to this day isn’t my favorite and is still a work in progress. But despite my love-hate relationship with running, I still LOVE the sport of triathlon.
“You are an IRONMAN!”
In 2015 I set out to achieve what I used to view as the impossible – completing my first Ironman. Nothing has been more epic than hearing those powerful words --- “YOU ARE AN IRONMAN!” It gave meaning to Ironman’s slogan, “anything is possible.” 2020 will hopefully bring hearing those powerful words to my ears for a third time in my career. This sport has led me to experience seeing so many different parts of the world, from Cozumel, Mexico, to Canada and Spain (with many more places still on the bucket list). I’ve also had experiences at the US Olympic & Paralympic Training Center, and representing America at ITU Long Course World Championships. Throughout my professional career I have always seen myself as a role model or a coach to those around me. What started as a dare has grown into a passion for coaching and a life of helping others realize their dreams – making the impossible, possible.
