Jen Gottschalk
Jen is a commercial attorney and mom to her almost 2 year old son, Maddox. Swimming was Jen's first love. She joined her first swim club at the age of 4.5 and went on to swim Division 1 in the Pac 10 at Washington State University. Jen also ran cross country in middle school and high school. At the end of college she and her dad made a deal that if she signed up for a triathlon, her parents would help her buy her first road bike. In 2012 and 2013 Jen raced draft legal sprint triathlons. She took a break while going to law school and then in 2018 started training for her first long course season. In that first season (2019) Jen raced three Ironman 70.3 triathlons, including the World Champs in Nice, and raced her first Ironman triathlon. In 2021, she had her son, Maddox and 10 months later raced Ironman Alaska!
