About the Author
Chris Foster is Triathlete magazine’s Senior Editor and a former professional short-course triathlete. From gear recommendations to training tips from professional triathletes, Chris makes the challenges of triathlon more approachable and awakens the competitive drive that leads triathletes to see just how fast they can be. He was an NCAA Division 1 runner for Penn State before graduating with a degree in Journalism. After moving to Southern California to be a part of the triathlon scene, Foster worked at the Triathlon Lab retail store while training and racing. Foster was coached by Bernard Baski (TriFit), Gerry Rodrigues (Tower 26), and Siri Lindley to become a member of the U.S. national triathlon team and represent the U.S. at the 2010 Elite World Championships race. He was in the running for a 2012 London Olympic team berth before a car hit him during a ride and derailed his training. Foster turned to racing non-draft legal, short-course triathlons like Hy-Vee, Life Time Triathlon series, and Rev3 before transforming his racing experience to a career in freelance writing and journalism. Foster now focuses on training and gear for Triathlete magazine.
Ryan Bolton is a former Olympic triathlete and the owner and founder of Bolton Endurance Sports Training (BEST). In 2000, he represented the United States in the Sydney Olympics and then went on to compete at a top level in long course triathlon racing. His race resume includes many international victories in Olympic triathlons, Ironman, and Ironman 70.3 race distances. In addition to his experience as a pro, Bolton holds an M.S. in Human Nutrition, with an emphasis on stress metabolism, and a B.A. in Exercise Physiology. He coaches world-class professional runners and triathletes, Olympians, and amateur runners, cyclists, and triathletes from around the world. In 2009, Bolton formed The Harambee Project in Santa Fe, NM, a group of elite distance runners, including the 2015 Boston marathon champion, Caroline Rotich. Bolton also participates in speaking engagements and endurance sports camps domestically.
