SPORTIVA AMBASSADOR

Holly Jones

Holly swam and did athletics growing up but it was a running injury while training for a half marathon, that got her into triathlon.

Holly (aka @hollymei.tri), did her first triathlon with Sportiva events back in 2019, purely for the challenge and was instantly hooked. Since then, she’s taken on everything from Sportiva Olympic Distance Team relays, all the way up to completing an Ironman in 2023.

At the moment, she’s mainly focused on middle-distance races, and was excited to compete in this year’s 70.3 World Championships. That said, she still loves taking part in all kinds of events and distance for fitness and fun!

Holly swam and did athletics growing up, but always specialized in short distance events. At university she decided to just do track & field for fun, but again stayed with the short distances. In 2018 holly was training for the challenge of a half marathon, but got injured and so started swimming again. And that’s how the challenge of a triathlon came about!
