Thanks to entries in Wikipedia and USA Cycling, Tina Pic’s cycling accomplishments are well-documented for cycling enthusiasts all over the world. Tina consistently delivers extraordinary results and 2007 was no exception.
After winning the gold medal in the road race at the Pan American Championships, the US Criterium Southeast Series (a series of eight criteriums in the southern US), an important stage in the Tour of Geelong, and numerous NRC events, Tina capped off the season with her fifth championship title at the US Criterium National Championships. Returning for her third season with the Colavita/Sutter Home Women’s Cycling Team, Tina aims to represent the US at the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing for which she has earned an automatic nomination to the Long Team of athletes eligible to compete.
A graduate of the University of Virginia with degrees in Finance and Marketing, Tina switched from triathlons and duathlons to cycling while at the University of Georgia where she’d enrolled in pre-med classes to pursue a career in orthopedic surgery. Enjoying the strategy, changes in speed, and teamwork that are the hallmarks of road racing, Tina found herself hooked. She won the 1995 Collegiate National Championship for the University of Georgia, earned an invitation to the International Women’s Challenge in Idaho, and began racing full-time in 1996. Tina is married to her “#1 training partner”, former pro cyclist Chris Pic, and makes time for windsurfing, waterskiing, scuba diving, and gardening when her schedule allows.
