Thomas Borch bioHeather Christiansen Bio
Racing History: Heather jumped into triathlon racing 10 years ago after relocating to Colorado from West Virgina. Being a collegiate-level swimmer, triathlons gave Heather a chance to rekindle her relationship with racing. She started in the Olympic-distance events, even up to a half-Ironman. Kids required her to back off to sprint-distance tri's, but is looking to get back into longer distance events, and increase her entries per year.

CloseMichael Olivier Bio
Racing History: Michael got into cycling almost 8 years ago, while living in Asheville, NC. After moving to Colorado, he joined up with others for group rides. His first criterium ended with a visit to the emergency room for a shattered collarbone and torn rotator cuff. Two surgeries and a year later, Michael hopped into his first triahlon - the Steamboat Lake Sprint - which hurt like nothing I've ever experienced - like an elephant sitting on his chest (in a good way). He was hooked. The Boulder 70.3 Ironman event and Leadville 100 MTB are on the calendar for this upcoming season.
Professional: Michael works remotely for a tech company based in Santa Monica, CA, as a senior designer.
Other: Two kids - a 7-1/2 year old son and 5 year old daughter, keep him busy. The son completed his first triathlon in 2015. His better half is originally from Fort Collins. The family enjoys heading into the hills for skiing in the winter. Michael enjoys a good scotch, and cheers for the Patriots on Sundays.
