She did it!
Jennifer Lopez not only finished her very first triathalon, she did it in a very respectable “two hours, 23 minutes and 28 seconds,” according to Hello! Magazine.
Jen was worried about the swimming part of the race especially, and commented that, “I’m glad I finished and that I made it out of the water.” The race consisted of a half-mile swim, 18-mile bike ride, and a four-mile run.
Part of the reason Jennifer wanted to do a triathalon was to make her kids proud, but the other part was to raise money for charity. According to Marie Claire, Jennifer said, “I feel really great that we raised $127,000 for the Children’s Hospital.”
Jennifer wasn’t the only celeb in the triathalon, her Wedding Planner costar Matthew McConnaughy was also there, as was Desperate Housewife Felicity Huffman.
Take a look at some more pictures of Jen and her participation in this milestone event.
Access Hollywood said that “the event as a whole reportedly earned $950,000 for charity.”
I can’t believe Jen was able to power through and finish, especially with the foot injury that caused her to drop out of the Project Runway finale on Friday. Of course, Marc Anthony was there by her side, supporting her all the way.
After the event, Cindy Crawford gave out awards to all the celebs who participated. J-Lo got the fifth place prize.
Here’s more video with Marc and Jen directly before and after the race:
We at JloStalker are so incredibly proud of Jennifer! Congrats!
