Name: Jessica Fry-Jones
Nickname: Jess
Location: Sterling, VA
Age Group: Female 40 - 44
About Me: I competed in a couple of triathlon relays in 2008 and really fell in love with the sport. I have just recently started competing individually. I am a swimmer by trade and started when I was 6 years old. I swam through college and now I belong to the Reston Masters Swim Team. I am also a part of the Reston Bike Club, but really enjoy being on the bike for a long ride with my husband, Andrew. I am looking forward to meeting more athletes on the RATS team!
What I do to pay the bills: Swim coach and private swim lesson instructor
Who defends the ranch when I'm out training: Because we are always training, I would have to say our cats, Sugar and Jeffrey!
Short term triathlon goals: To compete in more triathlons
Long term triathlon goals: To someday compete in an Ironman 70.3
Fantasy triathlon goals: To be first place in my age group in any triathlon (probably will never happen with my lack of running skills)
Three favorite albums: 1.) Jason Aldean - Wide Open
2.) Dave Matthews Band - Live at Fenway Park
3.) Josh Gracin - We Weren't Crazy
Favorite book: The Twilight Series, My Sister's Keeper, Sammy's Hill, Michael Phelps - No Limits and any American History books (my favorite is anything about the Civil War era)
Favorite movie: He's Just Not That Into You
Chocolate: Love it!
Garlic: It's okay.
Blue Cheese: YUCK!!!
For breakfast, I usually have: Eggs whites, turkey and oatmeal
After a long day of training, my favorite meal is: PASTA!!!
My best triathlon advice is: Have fun!
My best non-triathlon advice is: Live life to the fullest and do what makes you happy!
What was I thinking when I signed up for my first race: This is much more expensive than swim meets! :) Just kidding!

I hope I can do this was my initial thought!
Everything I need to know I learned from: Everyone (I think every close person plays an important role in the development of a person)
