CHAD GILL – INSPIRATIONAL PEAK ATHLETE

Chad competed in his first triathlon last year. Although this was a nice change of pace for him, it didn’t come without its challenges. Unfortunately, due to the uneven terrain and soft sand, Chad strained his right calf coming out of the swim. Over the next few months he battled with recurrent, persistent lower limb injuries, upper body injuries and race cancellations. Chad was frustrated and disappointed, however, this didn’t deter him from achieving his goals. He put his head down, invested his time and effort into himself and his body and worked even harder with the guidance and support of multiple Peak Coaches. He is a walking example of ‘you only get out what you are willing to put in!’

Since this time, Chad has competed in Olympic distance triathlons and more recently finished the ‘Hell of the West’ Triathlon and Cairns 70.3! He’s not looking to stop there either. He is planning on competing in the Sunshine Coast 70.3 in September 2022 and New Zealand Ironman in March 2023! Chad’s efforts and determination are a true testament to his character and is something to be admired.
