From Pool to Podium: Beginner's Luck at Its Finest with Jillian Cantrell

Can you imagine going from lifelong swimmer to a triathlon age-group winner in your very first race? Tune in as we sit down with Jillian Cantrell, a former competitive swimmer, who added shifting gears and running shoes to her repertoire and took the triathlon world by storm in her first year!

Jillian recounts her journey from joining the Capital YTri program in Washington D.C. to her first race and first podium finish. Despite her swimming prowess, the transition wasn't without its hurdles. From having to learn how to clip in because her bike only had spds to borrowing a wetsuit to navigating the chaos of transition zones, Jillian's raw and authentic experience will leave you inspired.

Discover the supportive community that fueled her success, the early morning workouts that tested her limits, and the invaluable guidance from her cycling-enthusiast father. Plus, get a glimpse into her future goals: conquering a half marathon and potentially a half Ironman in Chattanooga, her hometown.

Join us for a candid conversation that captures the essence of perseverance, community, and the thrill of pushing your limits.

Tune in and be inspired by Jillian's remarkable journey!

Let’s Tri this!
