Jenny moved to Doha from Ireland in December 2019, where she had been involved in the Irish Mountain Running Association since 2017. In early 2021, she started triathlon because she was injured and couldn’t run, had some lovely triathlete friends who were a terribly bad influence on her, and now feels like it was the luckiest injury ever. She reckons triathlon training was a great addition for running, and was on the podium for the Qatar East West 90km Ultramarathon 2021, and the Ooredoo Marathon 2022.

She has 3 kids who did their first triathlons before she did. She did her first ever sprint triathlon in Ireland in July 2021, quickly graduated to longer distance with Turkey 70.3 in October 2021, and then Oman 70.3 in February 2022, where she qualified for the 70.3 World Championships in St. George Utah, October 2022. She says her hardest half distance to date was Hardman Killarney in Ireland, where she had to walk the bike up two mountains. She is planning two full IM in 2023, Roth in June and Portugal in October.
