About Jenn

Welcome to See Jenn Tri!

I am Jenn Ross,a 52 year old Mom of 3,  and now the blessed grandma of 5 under 5 years!!

Oops thats only four..one more below:

I live in Providence Forge, Virginia and while I call Virginia home I have lived in 6 other states including Hawaii.

Most of my life I spent being an “athletic supporter”  : )

(translation cheerleader, driver, snack and water provider) for my children and husband.

At age 47 I became active out of desire to get healthy, get moving and also because as you will find out I truly believe

“ It is never too late”

Much like the “Velveteen Rabbit” ( great book) I am a bit worn around the edges because thankfully I am well loved

This also means I will tell like it is and be as “real” as I

possibly can about the successes and challenges of being an over 50 sprint triathlete.

Speaking of honesty I will tell you right now I am not the best at this sport though not the worst either .

I give it alot of heart and have fun along the way.

I am all about the fun, the challenge, the commraderie and cheering  for  my fellow triathletes.

Other loves include

adventures ( all kinds)

writing

travel

photography

laughing with my family and friends

prayer and gratitude for each and every day

This quote that I adapted sums me up quite nicely:

“Life should not be a journey with the intention of arriving at the end, dressed nicely and every hair in place but rather to skid in sideways, race number flapping in the breeze, a big grin on your face, water bottle in one hand, chocolate in the other, endorphins pumping, tired yet victorius screaming “woohoo, did you see me tri”?

And finally…I would like to thank my first ( and only)  love, my husband Paul..who supports all my crazy ideas, and helped me find  the “courage to start “  this “tri” adventure.    Jenn
