He has since become a 15-time IRONMAN 70.3 finisher and a 2-time full-distance IRONMAN. Endurance sports have made him proud of his body and shown him how privileged he is to push it to its fullest potential. Now, Zachary competes to push his limits, redefine possibilities, and inspire others to embrace their own potential.
