Lindley )〕 ==Career== Lindley grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut, as an athletic and shy child. She attended Greenwich High School, where she played field hockey, ice hockey, and lacrosse.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Interview with a Beginner Triathlete )〕 She later attended Brown University, where she played at the varsity level in the same three sports and graduated with a degree in psychology.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=An interview with Siri Lindley '91 )〕 Following graduation, she spent two years coaching field hockey and lacrosse – one year at Princeton University and one year at Lehigh University.〔 In 1992 Lindley competed in her first triathlon without having much prior knowledge or training in swimming.〔 She trained while working 60-hour weeks at a local YMCA in Worcester, Massachusetts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ITU Hall of Fame profile )〕〔 In 1996 she began competing in ITU World Cup races and was consistently producing top-10 finishes in 1999 under coach Jack Ralston. By 2000 she was focusing on qualifying for the 2000 Summer Olympics, the year the triathlon was making its first appearance in the Olympic program. At the U.S. Olympic Trials in Dallas, Lindley failed to take one of the top two spots in the race to qualify, but instead took third and accompanied the team to Sydney as an alternate.〔 Thereafter, she made some changes in her training, including joining coach Brett Sutton's squad at the suggestion of Loretta Harrop.〔 Soon after joining his squad, Sutton had her race in the 2000 ITU Duathlon World Championships, where she took second place.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Duathlon World Championship - Calais 2000 - Women )〕 In 2001, she won six consecutive ITU World Cup races and captured the ITU World Championship title, accumulating enough points to be ranked as the top female ITU triathlete in the world.〔 The next year, in 2002, she maintained her number 1 ranking while repeating as the winner of the World Cup series.〔 After that year, she decided to retire from triathlon competition to pursue what she considered her true career calling as a coach.〔 She credits much of her success in 2001 and 2002, when she won 11 World Cup races, as well as her success as a coach, to Sutton.〔 Among her accomplishments as a coach is coaching Susan Williams to an Olympic Bronze medal at the 2004 Olympics, and Mirinda Carfrae to three Ironman World Championships.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Siri Lindley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
