## Caption

Kristen Chang joined the VT Triathlon Club to find a sense of community. Little did she know, she'd meet her future husband! 😍🦃🧡
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“That is how I met Jordan, we met our Freshman year, we were friends, we both learned how to swim together, had awful adventures on the bike together, and just explored this new sport together, and eventually started dating. We had many married couples come out of the Triathlon clubs, four that I can think of.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Community can look very different in a lot of different ways. Get involved, find your people, surround yourself with them. Find ways to build yourself that sense of community, that’s what the Hokie experience is all about.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Kristen is a #HokieGrad and a current HNFE Instructor. Life as a new mom amidst a pandemic has been quite the ride, but she has prioritized movement to keep her going. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"You have to roll with the punches and you have to maintain an optimistic mindset. Even though we can't all be together we can collectively take time to understand what everyone is going through and the different ways our lives have been impacted, be patient and loving with each other.”
