Jessi Stensland will be joining Rock Star Triathlete tonight to do some Q&A.

In 2000, Jessi entered the professional circuit. A strong swimmer who quickly developed strength on the bike, she hit the ground running. Her first professional win came in 2001 on one of the toughest bike courses on the circuit, at the St. Kitts International Triathlon. Since then Jessi has had 20 career wins both nationally and internationally. In 2004 she won the Half Ironman Mexico, her first attempt at that distance. The highlight of her career however was the Olympic journey which culmintated with the 2004 US Olympic Triathlon Trials where she finished 4th and 6th among the American women.

Early in 2008 Jessi resumed training and racing. Partnered with powerhouse Under Armour through 2010, the focus this time around is broader, as the tag line of this website implies. It will be an adventure in all things endurance, both on and off-road, and all (reasonable) distances.

Jessi attributes her desire to race again at an elite level and her ability to do so injury-free to the team at Athletes’ Performance and the Core Performance program. An understanding of body awareness, being athletic, and how to integrate all elements of performance into life is a message that Jessi is committed to passing along.
