Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation (www.endurancenation.us) for this unique interview with Team Endurance Nation all-star, Jenn Edwards. 2014 saw Jenn breakthrough with a great race at Ironman® Coeur d'Alene, and then four weeks later make the podium at Ironman® Canada (Whistler).  This has been a long-time coming, and Jenn shares her total story with with us, from her humble origins of 80+ pounds ago all the way up to how she uses her analytical super powers to rise above the competition.  At the end, the conversation turns towards what it means to acutally get to Kona. Coach Patrick points out all of the key things that Jenn is doing -- that anyone CAN do -- which separate her from the competition. Get comfortable...this is a long one but it's a great one!
