Jennifer Lopez Completes First Triathlon

Jennifer Lopez was one of several celebrities to complete a triathlon in Malibu, CA today, showing off her shapely post-pregnancy body just seven months after giving birth to twins.

The singer, 39, threw her arms in the air and smiled to onlookers as she crossed the finish line of the grueling event, which involves swimming, running and biking. People magazine reports she finished the race in 2 hours, 23 minutes and 28 seconds.

On the sidelines to offer support were fans and Jennifer's husband Marc Anthony, who kissed his wife between the biking and running portions of the race.

After finishing, Lopez joined family and friends in a VIP area where actors Matthew McConaughey and Jon Cryer were also spotted. McConaughey was with his girlfriend Camila Alves and their newborn son Levi.

J.Lo's triathlon performance comes just days after "Project Runway" host Heidi Klum revealed that the singing sensation had pulled out of a planned appearance on the season finale of the fashion designers show due to a foot injury.

The New York Daily News reports that Lopez and her family were quickly leaving L.A. so they could focus on a 40th birthday bash being held for Marc Sunday night at a New York hotel.

  • A true triathlon is not the Iron Man distance, it is Olympic Distance. She most likely did the sprint distance. The Iron Man and 1/2 Iron Man are newer events.

  • Hey that's great Jennifer ran a triathlon. How many people can say they've ran one no matter how long the triathlon was. And the way I look at it....it's better running a triathlon then having chinchillas killed!!!

    • I think she's concern about her not breastfeeding? So what, its their choice. I breastfed my daughter till 9 months and don't look at my other friend that don't breastfeeding any different. Their kids will have the same 'benefit' as my kid. We woman...

  • She chose not to breast feed her babies so she could train for this triathlon. I hope that it was worth the cost to her children.
