Georgetown Triathletes

Christine has been involved with sports since she first started running in 1993.  After completing her first Half Marathon, she decided to join her local running club in England, Burnham Joggers. She rapidly became an active board member, holding several positions at once; Ladies Club Captain, Race Director and Uniform Sales.  As her passion for running and competing developed she looked for more challenging races and discovered Adventure Racing and Triathlon.  Her first Triathlon was the Royal Windsor Triathlon which she completed in a borrowed Tri Suit and Wetsuit, and an old Raleigh Bike. From there she got the bug and can say the rest is history.  Christine re-located to Georgetown, Texas in 2002 and her passion to have a club locally drove her to start the Georgetown Running Club in 2007 and subsequently the Georgetown Triathletes in 2009.

Christine has competed in around the globe as well, more recently the Half Ironman World Championships in Mooloolaba, Australia September 2016, and will also be inducted into the USAT Hall of Fame for the South Mid West Region 2016.

Georgetown Triathletes member since 2012, Steph jumped into triathlon after years of endurance junkie shenanigans out on marathon courses. 

Her fitness priority is life long health and unlimited fun, and there are no better partners in crime than the members of our club. She loves helping contribute to the club through her service on the board as Newsletter Guru and Sometimes Coach. 

Whenever she needs a little extra boost she  turns to her favorite verse, "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31

Justin met his wife (Kat Eggemeyer) in a bar in 2006 and they had their  2nd date on a group mountain bike ride. That started a whirlwind romance with endurance sports!  Mountain biking started it and then road riding. They signed up for a duathlon and he gave running a try. The duathlon was so much fun that he looked for more opportunities to challenge himself, like swimming 2 days a week and register for his first triathlon, the CapTexTri. The day before he went to rack his bike and looked at the lake. It was so cold and the buoys seemed so far away. He thought "Am I ready for this?” The next day the triathlon was cancelled due to thunderstorms.  Justin participated at the Temple Triathlon a few months later and that gave him a positive experience.  Closing in on 10 years , he still enjoys the process of triathlon and the lifestyle. He is looking forward to many more years of endurance sports!
