About Linsey: Linsey is a professional triathlete based out of Missoula, Mont. Growing up in Bend, Ore., Linsey had dreams of being an Olympic ski racer. Once moving to Montana she found her two loves: Chris Corbin and triathlon. Linsey’s friends call her “Montana-Made” because this is where she learned the ways of the wise regarding endurance athletics. Linsey won the first two races she entered and set a course record in her first race as a pro in 2006.

SRAM products used: Road - SRAM® RED (Black edition). Triathlon - SRAM RED with R2C shifters.

Zipp products you use: Training - Zipp® 404 Firecrest® Carbon Clinchers. Racing - Zipp Firecrest 808 / Zipp Super-9 tubulars. Tires - Tangente™.

Favorite SRAM product and why: R2C shifters just make sense. The ease of shifting and the comfort of riding this shifting system is the perfect match for Ironman racing.

Favorite Zipp product and why: Super-9 disc because not only is it fast, but I love the intimidating whizzing noise it makes when I get up to full speed.
