Jen TriFit

I borrowed a bike for my first sprint triathlon

Bought a second hand tri suit on Vinted

Breaststroked the swim 😅

I still somehow finished in the top 20 out of 200 women

From that moment, I was hooked

I fell in love with this sport

Yet women are still the minority in triathlon

🏊 Sprint & Olympic: 35–45% women
🚴 70.3: 25–35% women
🏃 Full Ironman: 20–30% women

Imagine how many women are missing out because they think they “can’t”?

Cannot believe it’s only 7 weeks until race day, it’s feeling a lot more real now!

Château de Chantilly 🇫🇷

Half Ironman, cycling adventures, castles & carbs ☺️

Back from France after completing my second 70.3 at Château de Chantilly 🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🇫🇷

I went into this aiming for a sub 6, but races don’t always go to plan 🫣

The mass start swim was a new experience and out of my comfort zone. I panicked and struggled with my breathing, and finishing the 1.9km was a big old mental battle.

The bike course was tough and windy, and the trail run was equally as difficult. I was still feeling the effects of the swim, so I knew I had to pull back, rather than chase the PB.

Completing the race in 6:36 wasn’t what I’d set out to do, but there came a point where finishing safely became the goal. I’m glad I listened to my body and adjusted my expectations instead of trying to force it 🙏🏼

Part of racing well is also knowing your body and respecting its limits ☺️

I’d be lying if I said this race hasn’t knocked me a bit. It was a tough day, and at times it was genuinely scary. But I guess every race teaches you something and there’s plenty to take away from it

I’m proud of myself for driving to France & back, and I’m proud to have finished the race when it felt so tough.

Pure grit
Pure determination
Lots of suffering

I will come back stronger next time 🫶🏼
