Describe a little bit about yourself and your interest in triathlon
Hi, my name is Jake Horsch and I am 28 years old. I live in Colorado Springs and am training for my 2nd Ironman 70.3. I was an AAC all-conference decathlete for 5 years at Wichita State and am looking to fill that competitive gap. I completed my first Ironman 70.3 in 2023 with a time of 5:18:16. Since then, I’ve ran half marathons, Leadville 50 run, Spartan races, Hyrox singles, and now getting back to Ironman. The goal is to qualify for Ironman 70.3 worlds by 2028.
