Brief Biography: I was born in San Francisco and grew up in Berkeley, CA. I recently graduated college at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs with a major in business. I started racing my bike when I was 12 years old. In 2010, I placed 13th at the Junior National Time Trials. I won the SeaOtter road race two years in a row and became the district champion in hill climbing. I also briefly raced in Europe. At the end of the 2012 season I decided to move to triathlon, just to try something new. I loved it and found it worked better for me than cycling did. The next season I just focused on multisport. By the end of the 2013 season I was ranked #1 in the nation for both triathlon and duathlon. I was named an All-American. In 2015 I was the age-group winner in the Wildflower Long Course Triathlon, a distincition that earned me my Elite/Pro License. Since then I have been racing in the pro field. Most recently I focused on PowerMan duathlon where I finished in the top 10 at the Zofingen world championship. I took a brief break from racing earlier this year to focus on graduating.

On August 20, 2018, at 2:10PM, Alistair was killed in a head-on collision with a line bus in Weyer Austria. He was on a recovery ride the day after racing Powerman Austria. He was due to fly to Switzerland the next day, to prepare for the Zofingen ITU Long Distance World Championships
