After finishing the Maryland race, she hopped into a van for a 10-hour, overnight drive before taking on Chattanooga at 7:30 the next morning.
According to the Ironman event organizers, she is the first woman to ever complete back-to-back full-length Ironmans in two days.
Jess Zaiss had to finish her first Ironman within 13 hours and 30 minutes in order to make it to Tennessee in time to race the next day.“Basically, we had to plan every last detail ahead of time so we could just roll up and race in Tennessee,” Zaiss said. “On Saturday, we were racing against the clock, because we had to start driving to Tennessee by 8:30 p.m. in order to make the 7:30 a.m. swim start the next morning,” Zaiss said. “I finished the race at 8 p.m., hopped right into the van, and we drove through the night.”
She popped a Benadryl and slept between three and four hours in the van, then woke up at 5:15 a.m. to eat a few more slices of pizza and drink a bottle of Nuunmix before changing into her suit to race again. The van pulled up to the race start at 7:10 a.m., just 20 minutes before the gun fired.
