For over 27 years, Greg has been involved in the sport of triathlon. He entered his first event, the 1985 Easter Bunny Triathlon, and started the swim facing the wrong direction, brought a bike he had never ridden, and walked on the run.  Despite a less than auspicious start, Greg was hooked on triathlons and has continued competing ever since. Greg has had five Ironman finishes, twenty-nine half Ironman finishes and has competed in over fifty Olympic and Sprint distance races. Additionally, he has competed in road cycle and criterium races, open water swim races, adventure races and 24-hour mountain bike races.

Greg was born and raised in Brisbane, Australia. A talented athlete, he competed competitively in the pool and on the track. He was the Queensland High School State Champion in the 100 meter butterfly and ran in the finals of the 400 meter track event. Greg has recently relocated to Northern California, and devotes his time to coaching local athletes from novice to elite, with an Aussie flair.  To learn more about Greg Lynch and his coaching business, please visit his website at www.glcoaching.net.
