​Chad Whistler

​

Work hard and play hard has always been something I live by, says Chad. In late 2009, he decided to really focus on an ambitious goal of Ironman; something that he thought was not possible.  His first ever triathlon was a 70.3 distance followed 3 months later with the ultimate achievement, Ironman Louisville. He's always participated in sports, so training and determination came natural. The mental and physical endurance of Ironman distance was another story, and Chad explains that now he know it’s possible.  

 

Since  that first year, he has completed 3 full Ironmans, and 7 half Ironmans. He's clearly hooked on the sport and what it offers. In late 2013, he made a decision to start racing for a cause. The Ironman Foundation Newton Running Ambassador tri team is a perfect fit.
