Two extremely wise people! The nice thing about Triathlon is that like was said at Steve’s tri – it’s not just about being a better athlete, it is becoming a better person and the training you go through definitely allows you to get there! You are going to do an amazing job at Ironman Canada Zack : ) Keep up the good work and all of those breakthroughs!

Once I wondered what happened when people get to the top of the mountain? What do they think when they get there? It’s all downhill. For others, it’s the realization and clarity that comes with the accomplishment. Know why you are climbing the mountain. Relish it when you get there and forever. And enjoy the descent with confidence. I know that as a Bertges, you are going to see mountain tops all over Canada, America, Europe, Asia…..

I’ve been training with Zack for just about two months now. I had gotten into a rut doing the standard gym workouts and needed to change things up. I can’t recommend Zack highly enough. In those short two months, I’ve lost 4% in body fat, over seven pounds, feel better than I have in years. I was an active triathlete (3 time Hawaii Ironman finisher) but I was getting soft and bored with my workouts. Not with Zack! He motivates you and makes you want to perform at your best.

On another note, part of the program is a review of your nutrition and food intake. With just a few tweaks, I’ve been able to lower my cholesterol and blood pressure.

Thanks Zack! With your help, I now think a 1/2 IM may be in the cards!

“2: Any race called THE BEAST is NEVER, EVER going to wait on you.”

…PRICELESS…. but wait, I just wanted to know if Korie ever goes by “BEAUTY”…. Ok, I think she’ll say, ‘of course’…
You’ll have plenty to look back and laugh at during IMCA, and trust me, it’s a long day, you think of alot of things….

haha, on the last one (which is new to me and looks awesome!), i know you said “rectus abdominus”, but at first i thought you said “righteous abdominus”. which in some cases is more accurate than others, i guess…
