Jordan Jones Boulder Peak 2011
Jordan Jones will race in the prestigious 5150 Hy-Vee US Championship Triathlon this Sunday, September 4th. The race is limited to 30 men and 30 women who will compete for over $1 million in prize money. The full entry list can be found here.
Slowtwitch interviewed Jordan as he prepared for the race and here is an excerpt:
Jordan Jones is a man of many interests. He is a pro triathlete, successful business owner, former Denver police officer and ran a 14:25 5k at Boston University. Jordan is on the start list for Hy-Vee and will be competing for the huge paycheck next month.
Slowtwitch: Thanks for the time Jordan. So were you relieved to make it into Hy-Vee?
Jordan Jones: Relieved is an apt description. I was ranked well going into my last qualifying race at Boulder Peak but I had a terrible race and immediately afterwards I thought I had blown my shot at qualifying. Thankfully, I still earned enough points at Boulder Peak to get my Hy-Vee spot.
ST: You raced at Miami, Washington DC and Boulder. Why did you decide to race those events?
