TTBIKEFIT.COM - About Us

There are some excellent triathlon fitters out there, but they are relatively few and far between. We hope that TTBIKEFIT.COM and our online fit service will provide a means for those who don’t have access to a good fitter to get a proper tri or time trial fit without traveling (we know a thing or two about road bike fitting also). If you do live a reasonable distance from Providence, RI, don't hesitate to make an appointment to visit us in our new TriFitLab facility. Even if you have been professionally fit, our dynamic analysis might provide further insight especially if you are having problems. Note that we are happy to provide unbiased recommendations and tips regarding new equipment.

We did our first triathlon in 1992, and have competed in hundreds of races since - everything from sprints to the big one in Hawaii. Lisbeth has competed as an elite amateur from the beginning, and is currently the 40-44 Ironman World Champion after her victory in Kona. She has also placed 6th (1995) and a 4th (2005) at International distance Worlds and a 5th and 6th at Ironman Hawaii (2008 and 1996).

Ironman Florida 2007

Other recent results include overall amateur victories at Rev3 70.3 (2009) and Patriot 70.3 (2009), 3rd overall amateur at Ironman Arizona 2008 (setting a new age group course record), and overall amateur winner at Ironman Florida 2007, breaking the course record and setting the fastest Ironman time by an amateur WORLDWIDE in 2007. She also had the fastest bike split at 4:59 and second fastest run. We like to think her great bike position helped a lot! She has been ranked #1 or #2 nationally in her age group almost every year she has competed actively (she missed a few years to have our 3 children). Todd initially competed as a Clydesdale and progressed to elite amateur in the mid 90s. As an age grouper he has been ranked as an All American several times.

Educated as engineers with graduate science degrees, we have both been fascinated by the technical aspects of the sport right from the beginning. Biking is the best leg for both of us, and other than our very first entry-level road bikes, Todd has built all of our bikes from the frame up and done all of our fitting. He also did this for many of our friends over the years in Miami, Kentucky, and now Rhode Island. For him this was a hobby, payment was never accepted other than an occasional six-pack. Along the way he spent a lot of time thinking, reading about, and experimenting with fit. A few years back he developed a method for using motion analysis software to optimize fit. Again, this was mainly for our own benefit but he began fitting many of our friends as well (as long as they weren’t in our age groups!).
