Get to know Zachary

As a person with dwarfism I am always drawn towards long endurance events that I shouldn’t be able to do with the body I have. Not many more challenging 1 day events than an Ironman!

Qualifying for 70.3 worlds in my perspective age group and becoming the first person with dwarfism to finish a 70.3 in less than 5 hours

The option to swim, bike, run and strength train while using the same headphone makes working out more enjoyable. Especially while I’m doing it alone

I don’t dread waking up at 3am to go to the pool anymore because I know I’ll be able to tune out with some music

The Hold Steady and Titus Andronicus or any 90s college rock band are my favorites for any training day. Loud and Fast enough for harder efforts but relaxed enough for longer easier efforts. And 80s/90s Punk for super hard/short efforts!

While the headphones have been a game changer for the swim training, the real difference has been at work. I build foundations and work with concrete. It’s dirty and the elements can be outrageous. Only a month in, but the headphones have been much more durable than anything I’ve thrown at my job

Music is key for getting through the efforts that seem unachievable. The H20 audio headphones being so durable and waterproof keep me motivated by never failing even during the roughest conditions

No matter the physical setbacks, your body is capable of incredible things. Be grateful for things you are able to do that some might not be as privileged to do themselves
