Gerard's triathlon career took off in 1986, when he came fourth at the World Long Course Championship in Hawaii, after which he resigned from his job in teaching to turn pro. Within two years he was the Australian Ironman Champion. He raced neck and neck at Kona with triathlon legends such as Mark Allen, Dave Scott and Scott Tinley, and within four years he was racing for Australia at the Commonwealth Games.
Then he did it all again in another sport. Injury ended his running, so he moved to the bike and started winning all over again: 26 Australian masters titles across two decades' worth of age groups, and two Masters World Championship silver medals. Whatever the discipline, whatever the setback, he has found a way to win. And at age 68, he is still the current national age group champion in the aquabike.
If there's one thing he loves more than racing, it's helping other endurance athletes succeed, whether that's just improving their time or also reaching the peak of the sport. He has trialled nearly every coaching method and execution strategy over 40 years. Thousands of data files, coaching calls, race plans, race analyses and one-on-one athlete feedback have honed his craft, and it gets more refined every year. Every TriVelo coach reports to him, so whoever coaches you, you have his experience behind you.
Jordan has trained under Gerard his whole life and has been a coach for 14 years. He brings modern science and training data to TriVelo's proven and tested principles.
Jordan loves the technical and tactical side of racing: how to ride a time trial, how to read a road race, and how to analyse and execute on race day. He also hosts the Get Fast Podcast, interviewing some of the sharpest minds in triathlon and sports science and applying what he learns to the TriVelo method.
He now coaches Gerard, whose masters career includes 26 Australian titles across road racing, time trials, track and criterium.
