Home Coaching Clinics & Speaking Personal Testimony History |
Barb raced from 1996 to 2005 as a professional. Of her 134 career races, she won 33, stood on the podium 86 times, ad had 114 top 10 finishes. Even though she specialized in Olympic distance racing, she wasn't afraid to go outside her comfort zone and try all other distances - sprint, Olympic distance non-drafting and drafting, Half Ironman, Hawaii Ironman, Xterra, and Duathlon.
2005
Knowing that 2005 was going to be her last year of triathlon racing, Barb truly celebrated each race. She focused less on training, trusting that her years of hard work would carry her through. They did, as she finished the year with nine podium finishes, two of them on the top.

2004
Barb started the 2004 season where she left off in 2003 - being ranked
#1 in the world longer than any other triathlete, male or female.
Lindquist will be hard pressed to improve on the stellar year she had
in 2003. However she came one step closer to the pinnacle of sport by
qualifying for the USA Triathlon Olympic Team in Honolulu, Hawaii,
April 18th. Barb commented, "The Olympics are a dream that I have had
for quite sometime. I've had a great career but I still have a couple
of things I'd like to achieve before I retire. Representing the USA
at the Olympics is one of them." Barb opened the 2004 season in
Australia with four podium finishes, including winning the Australian
Sprint Championships for the 3rd consecutive year. Her focus on
training and qualifying for the US Olympic team took priority over
defending her Australian series title as well as limiting the number
of races she competed in.

2003
Barb ended 2003 having earned gold in an unprecedented 12 races, and receiving
various sporting accolades: Triathlete Magazine's Triathlete Of The ear, USOC's
July athlete of the month, a finalist in the Women's Sports Foundation Athlete
of the year, and a finalist for the Sullivan Award. Her dominance in sprint races
ITU world cup races, and traditional non-drafting events marked her ability to take
on all formats. 2003 began by Barb defending her Australian Accenture Series title,
a series no non-Australian has ever won. Early wins in Tasmania and Japan saw her
take over the #1 slot on the World Cup circuit in February of 2003. Her winning
ways continued in the U.S., winning the major titles in San Francisco, Chicago,
Bellingham, and the Lifetime Fitness "Equalizer", a race which pits the men
against the women.
