Chris Gower

Chris Gower began his intro-duction into the sport of triath-lons just over 9 years ago after seeing an article in a magazine that was laying around. Chris decided that the thought of competing in a triathlon would be a good challenge and since he played lots of basketball his fitness level was ready for the challenging event. Chris signed up for his first triathlon which took place in Carrolton Ga. Chris looked around at all of the competition around him and tried to size them all up., thinking to himself who he thought was beatable and who might be a challenge for him. Chris was certain that some of these athletes would be easy for him to beat in this his first triathlon. He quickly found out during the first sixty meters in the swim that he had a lot to learn and much more training to do as one of the women he sized up earlier as not having any chance of beating him came swimming by him easily as he was already trying to turn on his back for a breather. Fast forward 9 years to this present time and several top finishes along the way and you will find Chris giving all he has to per-form at his very best. Chris is one of the top finishers in every race he enters. Chris has earned the respect of his teammates who constantly seek out Chris for knowledge and advice as to how to better prepare for their races. Chris Gower is not only a top athlete in the sport, but a top person of great character in life who realizes that by putting on the FCA Endurance jersey you are representing Jesus Christ. Chris is a man of God and an inspira-tion to us all.
