Tristan Manderfeld

Having wrestled my entire life and being a Division One recruit to the United States Military Academy I did not find the bike until an injury ended my wrestling career. Starting cycling in college is quite late by most standards but it allowed me to experience almost all of the cycling disciplines in an amazing environment. Moving swiftly from the “D” to “A” category I graduated as an Engineer Officer in 2017 and was stationed in Colorado Springs.

Throughout the next two years I would train around all of my various work requirements and take leave/vacation to race. I applied, and ended up being accepted, into the Army’s World Class Athlete Program as their first cyclist. Specializing in Track Cycling I was able to win x3 National Championships, attend the Pan American Championships for Team USA, compete in numerous Nations Cups around the World, and be named to the USA Cycling National Team for 2022-2024.

Starting in 2024 I received my Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist accreditation from the NSCA and began a Sports Science Masters Program at the University of Pittsburgh. I aim to blend my real world experience with the latest sports science information to help you accomplish your goals.
