USAT-certified triathlon coach Kendra Kitson started her journey into triathlon while obtaining her BS in Nutrition and Dietetics. She now practices as a Registered Dietitian with her MS in Exercise Science.

She loves coaching all distances, but has a true passion for short-course racing. Short-course triathlon has given her the opportunity to race for Team USA all over the world. Coach Kendra's favorite discipline is cycling — as you can see so much and go so far on a bike.

A big accomplishment for Kendra was completing her own Tour de Cleveland 100-mile adventure. When she is not doing triathlon, Kendra likes to play soccer, sew and craft, and bake!
