Zack's a Boulder County native (Left Hand Canyon). He is a graduate of CU-Boulder with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He currently manages a mechanical design group at Ball Aerospace.
Zack is an avid outdoor rider who believes that having big hairy event goals on a regular basis keeps one focused on their training objectives and emphasizes the joy of working towards something personally rewarding.
While Zack strongly believes in and practices responsible and safe training habits, he also draws inspiration from a bumper sticker that suggests
"Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, screaming HOLY CRAP, what a ride!"

Ee Wah
As she started to cycle more, and with a swimming 'background' she decided to give triathlons a go since she already had two out of the three events 'under her belt". Not being a runner however, her first tri run turned out to be quite the experience which she rather forgets. It did however, make her realize the importance of proper training and good nutrition. The experience also created a challenge for her to get better at running. So equipped with better training, proper coaching and smarter eating habits, she worked her way up from sprint distances to olympic distances and eventually to a half Ironman when she turned 49. She has participated in the Longmont Tri(where she has medaled in her age group), Loveland Lake to Lake, Boulder Tri Series, Oktoberfest and one of her favorites, The Outdoor Divas Tri. She also enjoys signing up for the many local runs the area has to offer with the Carbon Valley Half Marathon being one of her annual must-do!

A mother of two teenage boys and a substitute teacher for the local school distirct, Ee Wah considers herself to be a late comer to the fitness lifestyle. Her journey into cycling and triathalons started in her mid 30s after the birth of her first child. Growing up in sunny Singapore, she led a fairly active life swimming, water skiing, cycling and playing tennis for recreation but never took any of it seriously. However, after moving to the States, while trying to find a little time for herself after the birth of her oldest son, she stepped into her first indoor cycling (Spin) class in 1999 and was hooked. It eventually led her to purchasing her first road bike and signing up for a charity bike ride (McKee Classic), which led to another(MS Ride Colorado & Wyoming) and another(Ride for Sight, Venus D Miles, Tour de Cure...). and as the number of rides increased, so did the distances.
