Jen had the privilege to represent Canada and race at World Triathlon Championships in Cancun, Mexico in 1995. Jen also won a spot in cross triathlon to Almere, Netherlands to compete in the World Triathlon Multisport in 2020 but COVID took over the world. A fun fact, Jen and head coach, Dave were on the provincial triathlon team together in the late 1990’s!

Jen has a competitive swim background which certainly helps in the sport of triathlon. Jen loves the flexibility of training for the 3 sports in triathlon and enjoys how each race is a competition against the clock but with a true competitive and racing spirit enjoys racing against fellow triathletes as well. Jen trains with the Triple Threat Triathlon Club and is excited to coach the Windburn Race DEVO Team.

As an Exercise Physiologist, Jen is a true believer in health and life-long fitness and is raising her kids to enjoy sport, being outside and camping adventures. Jen has coached her kids in Kids of Mud mountain biking, hockey and ball hockey.  Jen is also a Level 2 Technical Official for triathlon so when she is not racing she is officiating.

Since then Quinn has competed in all levels of triathlon from local races to Canada Games and World Championships. Quinn began coaching Windburn’s Developmental Program in the spring of 2018, with the goal of having fun while developing new skills and introducing athletes to the sport of triathlon.

Quinn aims to inspire the next generation of Manitoban triathletes by continuing to compete in the sport himself. Through years of training and competing in triathlon Quinn has picked up skills and techniques that he is able to pass onto the athletes he coaches and trains alongside. Quinn strives for fun and energetic training sessions while insuring a safe and positive training environment.

Dave and Quinn work closely together and collaborate to ensure athletes in the Developmental Program are receiving the right training for their age and ability. In this way, together we guide our athletes to reach their highest athletic potential now and in the future.
