This is what Katrina Pirlo had to say!

Hi Jason, I’m absolutely chuffed to hear I’ve won this…. I only did my first tri last year and have signed up for two this year. A training day with Helen Jenkins and a bunch of new kit is such a motivating prize at this time of year. Thanks Wiggle (and thanks for the haribo that came with my shoes). I’m really excited.

And Here’s what Stephen had to say!

I wasn’t sure what else Helen Jenkins had won (apart from the World Championships) but Jeremy filled me in:

• 2006 – UK National Triathlon Champion
• 2007 – Australian Caloundra Sprint Triathlon Champion
• 2008 – La Paz ITU Triathlon Pan American Cup Champion
• 2008 – Vina del Mar ITU Triathlon Pan American Cup Champion
• 2008 – ITU World Triathlon Champion

‘Well done, she’ll put you through your paces. Could be harder than a Thursday evening session!’

(We have a cycling club turbo night, and a ‘stretch’ session with our Physio – usually the most painful part of the week – on a thursday night)

I hope his facts are right. Some training tips from a world champion are enough for me.

So I’ve gone from a feeling of stunned elation to being completey intimidated and wondering if we can keep up with possibly one of the all round fastest people on the planet, even for a training session!

Absolutely looking forward to it, though and always nice to win something!

We will be keeping you up to date with the winners training with Helen Jenkins via the Wiggle Bloggle.
