Kristan has over a decade of experience coaching athletes one-on-one and in group training programs, from athletes completing their first 5K run to experienced athletes chasing podiums and completing 70.3 and Ironman events.  She works with athletes of all levels to discover their athletic potential with a focus on developing the whole athlete, including mental toughness, tactical racing, nutrition, strength and endurance.  Kristan is committed to ongoing education, both as a coach and as an athlete, in order to provide optimal support for the growth and development of the athletes she works with.  

 

As an athlete, Kristan has over a decade of experience in all distances of road races and triathlons, including more than 30 standalone marathons, countless short-course events, and nine Ironman finishes to date, including the 2024 Ironman World Championship in Nice.  She is an adult-onset athlete, running her first mile at age 28, teaching herself to swim at age 32, and completing her first sprint and 70.3 at age 33, but quickly fell in love with endurance sports and honed in on what it takes to become a competitive age-group athlete; qualifying for and completing the Ironman World Championship in 2024, competing at the top of her age group with podium finishes at the sprint and 70.3 distances; as well as repeatedly qualifying for USAT Age-Group Nationals and earning Ironman All-World Athlete status.
