Meet Brett Zeolla: Race Mode Activated WYNR Challenge MVP

Over the last nine weeks, athletes across the WYNR community shared their training, races, milestones, and motivation as part of our Race Mode Activated Challenge. At the top of the leaderboard was Brett Zeolla, our overall MVP.

We caught up with Brett to hear about his experience, what kept him motivated, and what's next on his race calendar.

What did this challenge mean to you?

"If you only allowed me one word to sum up what this challenge meant to me, it would be community."

For Brett, the challenge highlighted the incredible support within the WYNR Team — from race and training posts to words of encouragement and celebrating each other's successes.

"How could you possibly not love the WYNR crew and be driven to perform at your best no matter what your goal is?"

What was your favorite moment shared during the challenge?

Without hesitation, Brett pointed to Olivia's now-famous pool dice workout.

"I mean, who brings dice to the pool? I do now!"

The surprise element of not knowing what workout was coming next brought a new level of energy and fun to his training.

What kept you motivated throughout the challenge?

"I've always believed you get what you put into something, and I have bought into the WYNR Community."

For Brett, waking up each day to see athletes from around the world encouraging one another created a positive environment that kept him engaged and inspired.

"That positivity and encouragement is pretty contagious."

What's next?

With the challenge complete, Brett's focus shifts to his next big goal: IRONMAN Switzerland on July 5.

"Been training very consistently now for six months and feeling great. I'm excited to race in front of my family and see what I can put together for the WYNR Team."

What does being part of the WYNR community mean to you?

Brett initially joked that WYNR stood for "Win Your Next Race," but after learning the story behind the brand, his answer changed.

"While it is a homophone for 'win,' I think more importantly it means family."

And that might be the perfect way to describe the Race Mode Activated Challenge — a community of athletes supporting one another, celebrating successes, and showing up together every day.

Congratulations, Brett, on being our Race Mode Activated Challenge MVP. We're excited to see what you accomplish next!
