| "Cristin's spirit and experience are an invaluable contribution to my first triathlon. She is a tremendous person whose firm, yet encouraging expertise makes training something worth waking up early for. I am blessed to havev Cristin as a coach and friend. Her ability to pull people together and keep us focused was a great advantage to my training." ~Tras Berg |
| "Cristin's motto, "train because you can" to me means to appreciate my own abilities. I am training for no one other than myself, and it's a good feeling. Cristin's program has taught me how to train smarter which has prevented me from injury. I am prepared and eager to complete my third triathlon this weekend! If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have kept up my training." ~Denise Binder |
