Gwen Jorgensen in a runner and former triathlete. She won the gold medal for the triathlon at the Rio Olympics in 2016 and won the ITU World Triathlon Series two years in a row in 2014 and 2015. Now retired from triathlon racing, she has her eyes set on the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo for the marathon. Payson sat down with Gwen in her Portland, OR home to discuss her latest Olympic ambitions, deciding to have a child in the middle of her transition from one high profile sport to another, what it’s like being part of the exclusive Bowerman Track Club running team, and much more. Plus, her two year old son Stanley makes a surprise appearance.
