Brendan Gribbons started as a runner but battled recurring injuries. During a training camp setback, his coach introduced him to swimming, and triathlon quickly became his passion. Now, he’s aiming for a top-10 finish in the pro field, racing at major events like St. George, Boulder, and Boise 70.3.

His biggest lesson? Training smarter, not just harder: “Keeping easy days easy and hard days hard reduced injuries and improved performance.” Outside of triathlon, Brendan enjoys life in Vancouver’s West End with his partner, Brett, and their blind Boston Terrier, Geri. He loves hiking, cooking, and exploring BC’s landscapes while balancing his role as a Director of Biomedical Engineering, ensuring hospitals run with cutting-edge technology.
