Wahoo Frontiers: Heather Jackson

As one chapter closes, a new one opens. After 15 years as a professional triathlete, Heather Jackson decided to challenge herself in new ways, build a fresh community, and push her own and other's expectations of what is humanly possible.
In June, Heather tackled the Unbound Gravel 200, often hailed as the "Super Bowl" of gravel bike racing, and the iconic Western States Endurance Run, the world’s oldest 100-mile trail race. Facing these demanding events with just a two-week gap between them, the question looms: how will Heather approach her most ambitious goal yet?

Heather and Wattie are such a great team. Herather's athleticism across so many sports is amazing, but there is something else inside her - something extraordinary and special - that makes her a true champion as an athlete and as a person, and Wattie seems to help her be her best self.

Hey Heather. Been following you for my whole amateur career. I knew your parents and was part of the OG Wattie INK elite team. It’s a pleasure to watch your grit, so inspiring! Keep on keeping on.

Showing the '94 World Cup in black and white is hilarious, as if there wasn't color in the '90s. Weird.
