Kristin started cycling after a knee injury prevented her from playing soccer professionally following four years on the University of Tennessee Division I soccer team, four NCAA tournament appearances, and three SEC Conference Championships. She was also a member of Tennessee’s varsity swim team, which she lettered in for two years and appeared at two Conference Championships. Kristin assumed she’d never find a sport to replace soccer and now considers herself fortunate to have discovered the same passion for cycling. She joined the Fort Lewis College Cycling Team in 2007 and placed 1st in the team time trial and 2nd in the criterium at the Collegiate Road Nationals and makes her debut on the NRC circuit with the Colavita/Sutter Home Women’s Cycling Team. Off the bike, Kristin coaches athletes for triathlons and long-distance swimming. She also enjoys climbing and crests as many 14,000-foot peaks as she can.
