Christina Waitzman

Christina (Tina) is an ER veterinarian who discovered road cycling back in 2002. The ultra mindset took over and she has completed double centuries, the 508 (team) and (team) Race Across America (RAAM). In 2011, she crewed her first RAAM. She learned a ton in the process, including that her care-giving, decision-making, and diagnostic skills make her an ideal crew member and leader. In June 2016, she and Sara and Mike decided to form Finish Line Ultra Crewing to bring their collective expertise and experience to ultra athletes striving for their next personal finish line.
