Heather Jorris

Heather Jorris Yardley, PA Pro (35-39)

Heather, a Penn State Nittany Lion (BS, Exercise Science), has been 'going long' for over 10 years.  With six top 10 International Ironman finishes and five Hawaii Ironman finishes, including an AG championship and 16th place Overall finish, Heather is an accomplished professional and the proud mother of two boys, ages 9 and 5.  A 12 year resident of Hawaii who hates cold weather, Heather returned to the mainland and now makes her home in eastern Pennsylvania.  With a full race season planned for 2008, Heather has her sights set on a return trip to Kona for the World Championships with the whole family in tow!

A self-confessed Suduko addict who reads the obituaries every day, Heather also runs a successful corporate fitness company, coaches swimming, teaches spin classes and remains active in her sons' school activities.  Did we mention she sews her own curtains?!  (We think Heather has way too much time on her hands).
