Show Notes

Gwen Jorgensen is an athlete who’s not afraid to test herself and go places she’s never been before. 

Accountant turned professional Triathlete, turned professional runner.

Her rise to the top of the world in Triathlon was rapid. 
She began her professional Triathlon career in 2010, by 2011 she had earned her spot on the US team for the London Olympics. By 2013 she was winning her first ITU World series events and by 2014 she was winning the ITU World Triathlon Series title which she repeated in 2015. An undefeated season in 2015 and an almost perfect season in 2014.
And in 2016 she took Gold at the Rio Olympics and backed up with silver in the ITU world series that same year.

In 2017, she became a mother to a beautiful boy and later that year announced her retirement from Triathlon and her career shift to professional running.

She’s one of the worlds all-time greatest athletes.
