My name is Jessica Orchard and I am at the ripe old age of 31. I have a wonderful husband and 2 beautiful children that keep life exciting for me every single day. They are very good to support me in everything I do, especially in persuing my wild and crazy dreams! I have been participating in sprint distance triathlons for about 4 years now in the Athena division (females 150lbs+). Let's face it, not everyone can be skinny!!! I have enjoyed it tremendously and have been very competitive in the division. Recently I have decided to begin training for the Utah Half (70.5) on August 27th, 2011. It is totally insane to think about and most days I still can't believe I talked myself into this but . . . here I am! I started this blog mostly for my own records/history but feel free to join me and follow along in my journey. I can use all the help and encouragement I can get! :0)
