Our club Board of Directors are elected and serve for a 2-year term.

President

Deb Armstrong

A competitive swimmer growing up and age group swimming coach in 1982, Deb watched Julie Moss famous crawl across the Ironman finish line thinking “I could never!” In 2011 an Irongirl was scheduled in her hometown and Deb immediately registered. When she crossed that finished line she knew she was hooked and jumped right to an Olympic distance and then a 70.3. Deb took a break for several years focusing on my professional fundraising career and family obligations. It was a cancer diagnosis in November of 2017 that brought her back to the importance of living a healthier lifestyle and decision to become a triathlon coach. Deb is a certified Level 1 USAT, Ironman and Masters’ Swim Coach. In addition to coaching for the tri-club, she coaches individuals with a focus on beginners and cancer survivors interested in increasing health and fitness to accomplish their physical goals. Deb is a multiple 70.3 and marathon finisher. She believes that triathlon can help anyone realize that “impossible is temporary.”

Membership Director

Gina Fielding

Gina grew up outside of Philadelphia, but has been in Denver for 13 years and has always been involved in sports and outdoor activities throughout my life. After years of participation in casual 5k and 10k races, in 2019 Gina decided it was time for a new challenge and signed up for her first sprint triathlon. Recognizing that she'd never previously had any formal swim training, she joined a beginner triathlon training group and found AMC to help me achieve my goals. 

Despite being convinced that she would never get out of the water and taking 32 minutes to complete the swim in Boulder reservoir at the Colorado Tri, Gina ended up growing to love it and completed four sprint triathlons that season. What Gina enjoys most about AMC is the community and she can be found training casually and enjoying the outdoors with my dog, Dizzy (who also attends the occasional group run activity).

Member at Large

Jeff Lingle

Jeff grew up in Long Beach, CA and spent most of his childhood shooting hoops, surfing and doing tricks on his BMX bike. Although an active kid, Jeff fell into some sedentary habits for a few decades as an adult working in IT.  In 2009, he found himself in a spot where his personal life and health were a wreck and he signed up for the Long Beach Marathon as a way to cope with stress and try to become healthier.  He discovered a passion for running while training for the Long Beach marathon.  With some encouragement from his wife, Jenny, and a college buddy, he signed up for his first triathlon in 2014 and completed the Olympic distance Morro Bay Rock the Tri race using a rented wetsuit and a borrowed bike and battling a crazy riptide on the swim!  Even still, he was hooked! Since then, he has developed a passion for integrating exercise and nutrition into his daily routine. He is an avid swimmer and bike commuter to work. He loves doing open-water swims, triathlons of all distances, and getting friends together to go for a “big ride”!! Marathon swimming and triathlon training has been transformative and has brought him some of his closest friends. In addition to triathlons, Jeff is passionate about making the world a better place through exercise, eating tacos with friends, and enjoying a great cup of coffee.
