Career
Corbin was born Linsey Pickell[3] to parents Tom and Betty in Greenbrae, California and grew up in Bend, Oregon where she attended Mountain View High School.[4] Corbin participated downhill ski racing, cross country and track & field. She attended UC Davis where she ran track but eventually took a break from the sport while attending college.[5] She transferred to the University of Montana to study nutrition and exercise physiology in 2000.[6] In Montana, Corbin began competing in triathlon and in 2003 she entered Missoula's Grizzly Triathlon and won. Three years later she set a course record for her age group at the 2006 Wildflower Triathlon. She soon after turned pro.[6]
In 2014, after living in Missoula and working with coach Matt Dixon of Purple Patch Fitness, Corbin made changes to her approach to training and season preparation.[7] She moved back to her home town of Bend, Oregon for the opportunity to train around more elite athletes. She also switched coaches, to Jesse Kropelnicki of QT2 Systems.[8]
