Riya:What's your name?
Jenna Soper:Jenna Soper.
Riya:Nice to meet you. So , would you mind if I put this on my girls for tri website? 
Jenna Soper: I'd say, okay.
Ria:So, what encouraged you to start doing half Ironman in the first place?
Jenna Soper:I've always been a runner, recreationally. And I just thought it'd be a fun challenge. I like to challenge myself and just try new things. I've had to learn a lot about biking and swimming, but it was really fun. And then once you do one, it's really addicting.
It is a great way to get out there and have fun.
Riya:Was this your first half Ironman?
Jenna Soper:No, this is my sixth or seven one.
Riya: Oh, wow.
Jenna Soper: But my first time here.
Riya:Oh, okay. So is there any message that you would give to young girls who want to start doing triathlons and half Ironman?
Jenna Soper:Yeah, please join the Club. We need more women out here. It's super fun . It is a great way to gain confidence and get stronger. Feel good. It's so much fun. And yeah, we definitely need more women out there. I'd love to be out there. So please do.
Riya:Thank You so much!
