Happy FriYAY Team!

On the 3rd March 2025, the Triathlon community lost an incredible human and athlete. Whilst many of the crew did not have the opportunity to meet Jenny Alcorn, those that did know her, will never ever forget her.

I had the privilege of meeting Jenny many years ago, and over the years we have connected through the sport of triathlon, coaching and the Gold Coast community. I was so lucky to have seen her race at her finest. Not only was she the toughest competitor, but she was everyone's best friend and would light up any venue with her smile & energy.

Jenny would be larger than life at triathlons & off-road tri's, both here and internationally. She would scream out your name, or she would overtake you on the bike like you were standing still, always smiling! Her SPTC colours were, and will be, iconic. Some of Jenny's results include : Kona 2016 winner, 2017 2nd place. 70.3 World Champion 2016 and 2nd place 2019. 

Jenny, you truly are a once in a lifetime treasure, not only to sport, but all of those whose lives you touched and enriched. You lived your life with love and passion, and I will be eternally grateful to have known you. 

Live every day to the fullest people, who knows what is around the corner.
