At the age of 37, Jay began his journey in the sport of triathlon.  He always loved watching the Ironman World Championship recap shows and knew this was a dream he wanted to pursue.  At the age of 47 now, Jay competes in triathlon at all distances, completing 30+ races including Kona and 70.3 World Championships.

Jay studied Civil Engineering at the University of Maryland and works at a large national construction management firm.  He earned his MBA from Loyola University, Maryland.  Jay is a USAT Level 1 and Ironman U Certified Coach and is interested in working with athletes of all types.  Analysis of data and problem solving is a specialty which gives him an attention to detail that will benefit anyone's training plan.  

Jay has been married for nearly twenty years and has a teenage son and daughter.  Juggling life and training is challenging but something he enjoys doing every day.

Jillian lives in the Pacific Northwest and is a single parent to her teenage daughter and pre-teen son. She works full time as the financial controller for a global investment management company.  She spends her free time training for triathlon, exploring the outdoors, and supporting her kids in their sports adventures (volleyball, track, scootering, etc).  

Jillian was introduced to triathlon in 2007 when she recruited her sisters and cousins to complete their first sprint at the Danskin Womens tri.  She had to pause competing for a decade to focus on career and babies, but returned to the sport at the encouragement of her brother-in-law in 2018 with her first 70.3 - Ironman 70.3 Coeur d’Alene.  They both caught the bug and continue to race all distances, including officially hearing Mike Reilly call their name as an Ironman in 2022.
