Earlier this year, Jen F. was selected as one of 200 individuals chosen to represent the Odwalla brand on the Odwalla Team 2011! Athletes from different sports backgrounds are chosen to compete in their sport of choice for the duration of the year. Representatives for Team Odwalla are selected based on a combination of accomplishments including philanthropic work, online activity, agreement to represent the team in at least three different races throughout the year and these qualified individuals must agree to tweet about their experiences! At Gunn/Jerkens, we don’t know anyone more qualified than Jen!
We were all excited as we watched Jen receive her supplies from the yummy juice company. In the training supplies box she received her official Team Odwalla gear, snacks to help with her training and more!
After much preparation including early morning and after hour’s workouts, Jen was ready to compete. In her first race of the year, Jen competed in part for Team in Training, who she helped to fundraise for, and for Team Odwalla. The chosen race was The Lavaman Triathlon held in Waikoloa, Hawaii just a few weeks ago.
Combining swimming, running and biking, this race was described as being one that pushed contestants to the limit and generated a strong sense of camaraderie between teammates.
Way to go, Jen! We’re all proud of you and can’t wait until your next race. We’ll be waiting to see those tweets!
