Chris entered the professional triathlon circuit in 1996, as an inexperienced rookie, but rapidly rose to success only eight months after his debut, taking the World No. 1 position and destroying arguably the greatest field ever assembled in triathlon history, to win both the 1997 Triathlon World Championships and the 1997 ITU World Cup Series.

Chris has won a slew of victories on the tough US Circuit including the San Diego International Triathlon, New York City International Triathlon and LA International Triathlon . He also became the first triathlete in a decade to capture the US Triple Crown. In 2001, Chris was again crowned Global Triathlete Of The Year and Competitor Of The Year and became the only triathlete to ever hold the USA Professional Championship Title and the USA Sprint Course Title in one season.
