I think it doesn't happen overnight, that's for sure. As the first gold medalist since 1984, I think cycling needs to ride that wave right now, because people are excited.

More quotes by Kristin Armstrong
We can thank God for everything good, and all the rest we don't comprehend yet.
Kristin Armstrong
I feel like I've done everything I can, and what I wanted to do.
Kristin Armstrong
I love the big fresh starts, the clean slates like birthdays and new years, but I also really like the idea that we can get up every morning and start over.
Kristin Armstrong
I think USA Cycling really needs to ride this wave and start looking at growing the sport. It's a tough one because cycling is such an endurance sport.
Kristin Armstrong
I think I get used to, even addicted to, the feelings associated with the end of a long training run. I love feeling empty, clean, worn out, starving, and sweat-purged. I love the good ache of muscles that have done me proud. I love the way a cold beer tastes later that afternoon. I love the way my body feels light and sinewy.
Kristin Armstrong
If we write our dreams and goals down, we dramatically increase our odds of realization. If we share them with others, they become potent and alive.
Kristin Armstrong
When everything is moving and shifting, the only way to counteract chaos is stillness. When things feel extraordinary, strive for ordinary. When the surface is wavy, dive deeper for quieter waters.
Kristin Armstrong
To be honest, if I had to pick somebody to be related to in sport, who's better than Lance Armstrong with what he's done for the sport and with his cancer foundation?
Kristin Armstrong
Running fills a need so we make fewer demands on others. Running reveals the roots of negative thinking, so the weeds can be pulled. Running reconnects the soul to the source, inspiring hope and creativity.
Kristin Armstrong
There is something magical about running after a certain distance, it transcends the body. Then a bit further, it transcends the mind. A bit further yet, and what you have before you, laid bare, is the soul.
Kristin Armstrong
I don't think that the Olympic games are a good place to bring up any political issues because it should be about the athletes and about coming together. This year's motto was One World, One Dream and to take that away it's just not a good time.
Kristin Armstrong
Cycling is not impactful. Its just like when you are injured, have a knee surgery or something, there are so many things that you can still do, you just have to find that other passion that's out there.
Kristin Armstrong
I talk about role models a lot and wanting to be a role model for kids around me because I didn't have that growing up.
Kristin Armstrong
What I have learned about the sport of cycling is that you have to love it to do it because you're not going to retire off of it.
Kristin Armstrong
I avoid the carwash when I think it might rain anytime in the near future, which means I drive around the majority of the time in a pollen and bird poop covered car. This presents a stand off between Neat Freakshow and Practical Pennypincher, and Neat Freak usually triumphs. And then it rains.
Kristin Armstrong
I find significance in all kinds of small details when I run I'm hyper aware of my surroundings, the sensations in my body, and the thoughts running through my mind. Everything is clearer, heightened. I might be more addicted to this clarity than I am to running itself.
Kristin Armstrong
Running is a grownup's lost link to playing outside.
Kristin Armstrong
I think I run my strongest when I run with joy, with gratitude, with focus, with grace. With that strategy in place I can push myself for pleasure, not punishment. Maybe you can only really go when you let go.
Kristin Armstrong
It's funny because when there's something written about me in Velonews or Cyclingnews, the headline isn't the other Armstrong its Armstrong wins another race. With Lance in retirement, everyone I know goes to those sites because they think Lance is racing again.
Kristin Armstrong
I was a runner and a soccer player living in Okinawa, Japan and I didn't have recruiters coming in to recruit me for sports. So how many kids out there and planning to go to college are super stud athletes but don't have a chance because they come from some podunk town and no one comes to watch them?
