Journey to Kona

Hi I’m Jordan!

2 & a 1/2 years ago I was an unmotivated young mother, running a farming business whilst raising my 2 toddlers. I had recently been through a separation (which sucked), I was a big girl, I was bummed about life, and well to put it in a nutshell, I was depressed!

I needed something to keep me going, to give me a positive turn around in life.

I started my wellness journey and along the way I had a few people in my life who mentioned Ironman and how it had helped them. So, I decided what the hell, let’s give it a go!

I was already running, but I had to learn to swim and bike, but with a lot of discipline, it paid off & my first 70.3 in 2021 was my greatest achievement (apart from my children)!! I was hooked!

So, I decided to give the full distance a go, and trained hard but unfortunately it got cancelled due to Covid! that was a setback, but thinking positively, it gave me the time to train harder.

In March 2023 I did my first full distance Ironman, it was EPIC!!

Finishing with an awesome time, I managed to qualify for the 2023 Ironman World Championship in Kona Hawaii, a prestigious Ironman event.

That’s why I’m here today as I really really would love to compete! The entry fee to Kona, flights and accommodation etc, are much more than I have spare right now, and even though I am doing my best to raise the money myself (I work fulltime, often long hours) funds are still tight, and I would kick myself if I missed this opportunity!

Thank you for reading my story!
