Gabrielle Suver was a late bloomer. She started running towards the end of high school but always had a desire to run, just didn’t have the opportunity until she switched high schools. She wasn’t anything special and her college running career was mediocre, but she was still new to the sport and battled an eating disorder all through high school among other health issues and plenty of injuries that prevented her from optimizing her performance early in her career. She completely stopped running towards the end of college due to excessive injuries that were a consequence from years of malnutrition and switched to bike racing until an accident occurred during a race that required elbow reconstruction. She stopped racing bikes, started running again after graduating college, and went fully into triathlon by 2014.

As her body recovered from the damage of the eating disorder, she slowly became stronger and faster. In 2015 she started working with her coach Rebecca Marsh of FR Racing and was ranked 6th in the state of Florida All-American for triathlon by the end of the year. She continued to slowly climb the ranks through the years with many wins, some DNFS, highs, and lows as she battled numerous health issues. By the end of 2019 Gabrielle was ranked #1 in the USA for duathlon in her age group and turned professional in duathlon by 2020. In 2021
