Barb Lindquist- Olympian to coach

Barb Lindquist’s triathlon career highlights her consistency, perseverance, and excellence. Of her 134 pro career starts, she won 33 races (25%), stood on the podium 86 times (64%), and had 114 top 10 finishes (85%), covering all distances from sprint to Ironman, specializing in the Olympic distance. She beat the Australians on their own turf by winning their coveted F1 Series twice, was ranked #1 in the world from 2003-2004, and represented the USA in the 2004 Olympics in Athens (9th). In 2010 Barb was inducted into the USAT Hall of Fame.

Lindquist made it to the top of the sport by dedication to hard work, an easy-going spirit, and insights from husband and coach, Loren. Her “off the front” racing style and her ability to leave it all out on the course gained her the respect of her competitors and admiration of fans around the world. Barb’s passion to the sport is balanced by her Christian faith and joy of life in her home state of Wyoming. Barb loves to tell people, “I have the best office in the world.”

After retiring from racing in 2005, she began to coach triathletes, to inspire others by sharing her story through public speaking, and to work part-time for USA Triathlon.
