Chris
Foster was born on December 24, 1982 in Ann Arbor, MI and
grew up near Annapolis, MD. In high school, Chris was a standout
middle-distance athlete, excelling in the mile and 800m, as
well as being all-state in cross country and competing on
his high school’s Varsity swim team. In 2005, Chris
graduated |
|
| |
from
Penn State University with a degree in journalism and statistics.
During his four years on the Varsity Cross Country and track
team, Chris won IC4A XC Championships, was All-Region twice
in Outdoor Track and was a member of the school record-breaking
Distance Medley Relay (Chris’ mile leg was clocked at
4:01). Chris was also Academic All-Big Ten for two years and
was third at Big Ten Championships in the 3000m Steeplechase
(8:50). |

As
a college athlete, Chris would train for triathlons in the
summer to escape from the severe boredom of distance running.
With very little training, Chris found he was quite adept
at making up for his swim by running most people down in the
third leg. After college, Chris decided to make a serious
try at triathlon and moved across the country to California
with his girlfriend Karli.
Chris
is now living and training in Redondo Beach. Chris’
current focus is ITU-style racing, but he dabbles from time
to time in non-draft and running races. His current sponsors
include Trifit Club and
Studios, KHS Bicycles, Cole Wheels, Triathlon Lab, Accelerade, Bonk Breaker, Selle San Marco, Fluid and T-Roller. If
you are interested in sponsoring Chris, please e-mail
him. |
