People and Companies I believe in

I want to take time to thank those on this page as they have helped me in many ways.

• Team Zealios

  • I love their sunscreen and skin care products. They are by far the leading sunscreen for endurance athletes. I buy their products at full price every time. I personally have no reason to offer a discount code for their products as I want them to stay in business as long as possible. Also, I have used their product to for more than six hours in the sun, with no sun burn. I’m a believer in their product and will buy it every time I run out.

• Proform Treadmills

  • I have completed many long runs, intervals, and easy runs on my treadmill. I believe in their products and stand by it. I know that there are many options when looking at attaining a new treadmill. But the soft surface for distance runners is a must. The quietness is also something many look at, which in my case is so quiet, I don’t even wake up my wife when she’s still sleeping. I will buy another Proform in the future.

• F2C Nutrition

  • I have heard of athletes using many products over the course of interviews. This product keeps coming up as a bullet proof product that is easy on stomachs and also has the nutrition that people need for endurance races. I also believe in this product line for these reasons as well as the quality control that is done very high.

• GU Energy Labs

  • I’ve had the pleasure of talking with people from Gu and I am an avid user of their gels for my long runs. It’s simple, easy, and tastes great. I highly recommend using them.

• Veo Strip

  • A small start up in California makes these sweat diverting strips. I love these and will buy these at full price because they simply work. I use these for any long run more than 10 miles outside.

• Xceed Apparel

  • Xceed Apparel is a company that has made triathlon kits for many athletes. You can buy custom kits through Xceed Apparel. I’ve personally bought workout apparel through Xceed (formerly known as Peaks Apparel). Great quality and great pricing. I’m happy to support Jason in this business.

• Wasatch Apparel

  • I personally also recommend Wasatch Apparel. I bought my 2019 kits through this company and would recommend them as well. The quality is great and the pricing is great too. I use the items still to this day with no issues. I’m happy to support Kim and Taylor Kallas in this business.

• TrainingPeaks

  • This is how I deliver my coaching to my athletes and I love the platform and the app for phones. Very useful and highly recommend it to other coaches.

• Dr. A’nna Roby (Sewell)

  • This woman has changed my life for the better through her knowledge, patience, and encouragement of teaching me the right way to eat, what to eat, and when to eat. I have learned so much from her and I am proud to call her a friend. I support her and her business and will frequently offer partnerships with her in congruence with my coaching to help athletes lose weight and get fit.

• Shanna Monahan, M.A. LPC-S

  • Sex therapist and relationship expert, Shanna is talented in helping athletes and non-athletes love more, understand each other, and communicate better. As an endurance athlete herself, she understands what it’s like to train for long races and have kids.

You’re ability to dig deeper than anyone I know when times get tough is remarkable. You do all of this with the smile that is similar to Eluid’s. You have such a remarkable passion to helping others and your humbleness and appreciation for life is something that has rubbed off on me to help me appreciate life more.

• Andrew Lewis

  • Thank you for the countless questions about anything and everything aero, shoe related, or even bike related. I ask you a ton of questions and I know it must be annoying at times. You’ve done so well with handling some weird situations and I think you’ve come out on top of all of it now. I can’t wait to see you and Danielle get married one day in person. I look forward to our continued friendship.

• Ellie Salthouse

  • Your bubbly, free flowing spirit is not to be mistaken for weakness on race day. You’ve proved that time and time again. I love tracking you on race day because I know you’re fighting for every inch of the race. Your spirit and graciousness in person is remarkable and I really admire this about you.

• Sidney Smith

  • Sidney, you are a true inspiration to many athletes and outdoors men/women around the world. I’m so proud to have documented your journey through IRONMAN© Florida. Although with school and family, I still feel sad we did not capture your post race interview. I feel like I let you down in some way. I’m sorry for this. Your drive and determination through so many hardships not just the loss of your legs, but others we discussed really does show the type of stand up man you are and I think of your actions often and your passion for life. I love how you approach nearly everything with gratitude.
