TriathlonExperts Leadership Team

 

Jay Zacharias, President
USAT Certified Level I Coach
Licensed Primary Sports Nutritionist

“In 1981 I participated in a sprint distance triathlon while working as fitness instructor and have been hooked ever since…”

I created TriathlonExperts with the goal of helping athletes new to the sport, as well as experienced middle-of-the-pack age-groupers who view triathlon as more than a bucket list item to check off before they die.  My true passion is providing advanced strategies for triathletes to get better more quickly and as safely as possible.

While my work entails developing self-paced triathlon training and nutrition guidelines for my community, I get my fix from training and racing long-course events.  With a dozen Ironman races under my belt (and lots more shorter ones), if I’m not at my desk researching and writing, I’m probably off in the hills doing repeats.

As a triathlete I’m a work in progress…with many days being a lot more work than progress. But that’s the challenge of triathlon…there’s always something you can improve.

“Put down the cheeseburger and no one gets hurt.”

I’ve spent the past 20 years of my life testing out just about every diet on the planet in order to learn about weight management, detoxification, and performance.  In my consulting work with scores of health practitioners and companies, I’ve figured out the secrets to all the above… and much to our community’s delight and surprise, it’s pretty darned simple.

It was my love of healthy nutrition and for keeping Jay safe and strong through training that got me going with TriathlonExperts.com.   I share many of my lifestyle and dietary tips in my fun and easy-to-use guidebook for triathlon supporters, Fast and Faster.

In my spare time, I enjoy cycling all over the world, trolling for new foods at Farmers Markets, and cheering on triathletes at race events.
