Welcoming Brittany Higgins

We're exceedingly proud to welcome Brittany Higgins to our roster of Professional Triathletes. Brittany is a long way from our Oregon home, but we connected with her through our mutual friend and amazing Rolf Prima dealer, Paul's Perfect Fit.

Her passion for the sport and professionalism balanced with a low-key attitude and incredible work ethic drew us to her immediately. The value she places on relationships and long-time connections sealed the deal. For us, it's always about the person as much as the results and we know Brittany delivers on all levels. 

Brittany is rolling fast on her Felt TT bike set up with an Ares6/Ares TT Disc wheelset for racing and Vigor ES Disc wheelset for training.

Background: 

I was introduced to triathlons at a young age.  My dad was a triathlete and would bring me to his races when I was younger.  When I was old enough, he encouraged me to try it out.

In High School, I started running competitively. I later attended Southern Illinois University where I ran Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track.  I graduated with a degree in English and Minor in Journalism. 

After college, I missed competitive racing and started competing in local sprint triathlons then moved up to Olympic and 70.3 distances.  

In 2014 I qualified for my Pro Card but I was still working full-time. It was challenging to juggle work and all the training needed to compete at a high level. In 2018 I was able to change to working part time so I could focus on training and racing as a Professional. I still have more to accomplish and I am excited to see what I can do!
