In 2009, Chris became the fastest American Ironman triathlete in the world after his second place finish at the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. As a surfer and former college water polo player, the Danville, California native started his triathlon career in 1997 after reading a story about triathlon legend Mark Allen. Now at age 37 and nearly 100 triathlons later, Lieto has risen in the pro ranks with multiple Ironman wins, a U.S. Ironman championship and three top-10 finishes at the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. Chris joined the XTERRA WETSUITS family in 2010 to make every second count in his quest to become a world champion.
