Cortney Jacobsen   Northwest Energy Lab

Cortney specializes in working with high-achieving business professionals who want to race long-course triathlon, but have limited training time. My superpowers are providing actionable feedback and flexible training plans. My goal is to help you manage training so you can excel at work, have energy for the weekends, and race with confidence. I come from a 20-year career in high tech leadership, so I relate to the challenges of having a demanding career while training for ultra-distance races.

Bio

Cortney moved to Seattle in 1998 to pursue her career in technology product strategy, but become enchanted with the Pacific Northwest lifestyle and soon took up hiking, biking, and running. Her first taste of long-course endurance was a 50-mile hike on the PCT, and later, the ChelanMan half-iron triathlon. From there, she was hooked on distance racing and although she trains hard and is fiercely competitive, she credits her classical-music brain, not her body, for her athletic accomplishments.
