Jess Skead
WHO AM I ??
Hey, I’m Jess! I’ve been a water baby since before I can remember. As a former South African synchronised swimmer, I spent countless hours in the pool, where I learnt the value of hard work, discipline and chasing big dreams. After synchro, I swapped my nose clip for running shoes and a bike, starting from scratch, learning to be a triathlete. Now, besides being an occupational therapist full time, my life revolves around early mornings, plenty of coffee, and squeezing in two training sessions a day – and I absolutely love it.
MY GOALS:
This year I’m chasing a marathon PB, and next year my sights are set on completing my first full Ironman.
WHAT IS MY WHY??
I love challenging myself and discovering that I’m capable of more than I ever imagined. I love to see the how far you can get when you put your mind to something. If my journey encourages even one person to chase a goal that feels a little scary, then that’s a win for me!
