Kristin Armstrong
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kristin Armstrong (born August 11, 1973) is a professional road bicycle racer. She rides for TEAm Lipton in women's elite professional events on the National Racing Calendar (NRC) and UCI Women's World Cup. Armstrong lives in Boise, Idaho and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in sports physiology from the University of Idaho. She is often confused with Lance Armstrong's ex-wife who is also named Kristin (Kik).
The three-time national champion finished in 8th place (top U.S. finisher) in the women's road race at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.
Prior to professional cycling (pre-2001), Armstrong was a triathlete and spent many hours perfecting her strokes in the pool at the Boise Family YMCA, where she also served as Director of Aquatics managing a staff of some 50+ lifeguards, swim instructors and other aquatics professionals.
