Michael Phelps has enticed the nation with his record-breaking Olympic swimming, he has had some of the world’s best swimmers on his tail during the races but according to Jennifer Lopez, he has no competition in her.

The recent mother of twins, Lopez has come to the decision that she wanted to run a triathlon. Sitting on her couch watching triathlons, while she was eight months pregnant, J.Lo became inspired to run one herself and will be participating in a September 14th triathlon to raise money for the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.

Named Self Magazine's most influential woman, Lopez has teamed up with Self Magazine’s Editor-in-Chief and esteemed triathlete, Lucy Danziger to train for the big race. Lopez admits that she is a good athlete but the swimming is a killer and that Phelpsie has nothing to worry about with [her].
