Tom Trout - Triathlons | United States

Committed by Joy and Physical Fitness . In addition to challenging his own physical limits in the grueling sports of triathlon and adventure racing, Tom Trout shows his intense passion for sharing his knowledge and experience with others. His goal is to help them feel the same joy and fulfillment he has felt since entering his first triathlon (which he eventually won) about 20 years ago. Having competed in more than 200 triathlons where he placed tenth overall or better 75 percent of the time—Tom now coaches aspiring triathletes and continues to train and race at the elite level. He is well-qualified to teach since, besides his experience on the track and field, he has earned a Master's degree in Educational Leadership and is now an Elementary School Principal in Michigan. Tom has also organized and offered a popular triathlon for kids in his community for the past three years.

"I take EM•PACT before and after exercise because it helps prepare me for my workouts. It does not spike my blood sugar like some drinks, but rather I feel more alert and responsive during my workouts. I also rely on SPORT to help me with recovery after long hours on the bike and runs exceeding 5-6 hours."
