Christopher Whelchel
Triathlete
Born: Miami Florida
Current hometown: Austin Texas
DOB July 2nd, 1975
I dabbled in a variety of running races since 2001 but didn’t find triathlon until late 2010. The folks at Jack & Adams were so great to work in preparing for my first triathlon and have been like a second family during my “experimental year”. Trying to find my niche in competition, I have continued to try everything from on and off road running to duathlon, ultra marathon and half distance triathlon. 2012 is in the planning and it’s going to be a great year!
