Triathlon

She is the sweetness in person, but make no mistake as she is a very strong woman! In 2017/2018 when she was still working in Iraq, Jen was training for running but felt the need to have the sport more present in her life.

It was then that she decided to take a year off work and signed up for an Ironman. Since then triathlon has been part of her daily routine since she moved to Portugal.

Her daily starts very early, between 5:30 and 6am with the first training session of the day, then she works from home and at the end of the day the second session.

When she doesn’t feel motivated she reminds herself that it is a privilege to be healthy and able to train safely outdoors and in nature.

Her favorite quote is

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"
