Going for Gold: The Jorgensen Journey

Going for Gold: The Jorgensen Journey

This season is about overcoming, and let’s be real; you learn to overcome whenever you tri.

Tri Beginner’s Luck welcomes back Olympic Gold Medalist and USA Triathlon Hall of Famer, Gwen Jorgensen, along with her Mom, Nancy, and sister, Elizabeth.

What is it like when your daughter or sister is an Olympic Gold Medalist? Turns out, it’s full of all the same fun family antics as many families enjoy. And we know the saying: It takes a village to raise a child, which is true, and it definitely takes a supportive family to raise a Gold Medalist.

The beauty of this interview is hearing the Jorgensen’s tell their stories and learning how the three authors delegated, collaborated, and played to their strengths to write: “ Gwen Jorgensen: USA's First Olympic Gold Medal Triathlete A story of risks and goals, disappointment and rewards.” While writing a book is hard work, they still smile today as they share their story.

Here is the book on Amazon: Gwen Jorgensen: USA's First Olympic Gold Medal Triathlete
