Get Jennnney to Kona 🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Kia ora e te whānau,

A few weeks ago, I had an awesome experience at IRONMAN's roll down in Taupō!🤩

I was 5th in my age group; the first two didn't take their slots, so they got passed on. When the speaker called my name, I said 'no' because I had no savings to cover the costs. If you accept the slot, you get asked to pay the entry fee immediately.

I don't remember much, mainly because the room pushed me to sign up. My coach asked the speaker to hold on for a few seconds. He said that a Kona slot might never become available again. He also said we'll find a way to cover the costs by fundraising.

How could I keep sticking to 'no'??🙃

When I think back, I still can't quite believe what happened because many IM athletes dream of joining IRONMAN's World Championship in Kona. My Kona entry is proof of dreams coming true!🥰

Huge thanks to Mr Smith's Coaching and all his Smithies!!🤗

I will be happy to represent Aotearoa in Kona and believe me, I've shed tears of joy a few times already🥲😊

So far, my team has organised a Summer's Mum's Sauces fundraising - orders for 2 more weeks https://www.facebook.com/share/p/168xTkocWN
