Jenna is in Chicago for the Triathlon, we had the chance to catch up with her and ask her 5 questions.
1. Do you "Back The Bid?"
Jenna- "Yes."
2. Why?
Jenna- Chicago is an iconic city, it's beautiful, has a great sports community. The fans and athletes are some the best in the country. This weekend alone there are 3 Olympic sports on the shores of Chicago, the triathlon, the Kayak Marathon and beach volleyball, Chicago would be a great place to host an Olympics, I would make it a goal of mine to be here."
3. Speaking of Olympics, how do you feel about London in 2012?
Jenna- That Gold Medal is sitting there on ice, waiting for me to get it, I have been working hard and it's no longer just a dream, I can see it, I want to be there. There are a lot if people gunning for it, but I am willing to put in the hard work and have my sights set on it.
4. If you and your older brother Jarrod races in a Lifetime Fitness type race, where the women get a head start, who would win?
Jenna- I would beat him out of the water and the bike, he would catch me on the run.
5. What's the best way to pour a Slurpee (We were in a 7/11)-
Jenna- You have to layer it, otherwise it's all one flavor on top of another. Coke, Cherry, Coke, Cherry, Coke, Cherry, the only way to do it.
If you have questions for Jenna, she will be at Fleet Feet Sports tonight and at the Garmin store Saturday at 1:00.
While we were waiting for Jenna we met Colonel Bob Thompson, the official spokesperson for KFC and the Ambassador for The World Chicken Festival. Bob Backs The Bid as well.

I love her answer to question #3. It is as honest as it gets. I hope she wins the gold.
Wouldn't be surprised if Jenna gets to the Olympics and medals. She's got what it takes to be a winner! Great meeting her and getting a peek into her very interesting and exciting lifestyle. She's a great person and athlete!
