Fast Five with Great Britain's Jodie Stimpson

by Erin Greene on 27 Jun, 2013 03:50 • Español

Jodie Stimpson has had a dynamite breakout year so far this season. A change up in training late last year produced major early results, with third-place finishes in Madrid and Yokohama and a silver at the Mooloolaba World Cup. The top finishes make her third in the rankings with four World Triathlon Series events still to come. Get to know Stimpson off the course with this week’s Fast Five questions.
