She Does Tri Staff

Krista Schultz, Founder

Krista has her BS and MEd in Exercise Physiology and is certified by NSCA (CSCS, CPT), USA Weightlifting, and USA Triathlon. Krista interacts with hundreds athletes each year through coaching, personal training and performance testing - VO2 max, blood lacate and resting metabolic rate (RMR). She regularly speaks at camps & seminars.

As a competitive triathlete, Krista has qualified and competed in the Ironman Hawaii World Championship & has represented Maryland for the Best of the US from 2006-2008 while achieving USA Triathlon All-American status four times. She also competed in Duathlon World Championship in 2006.

In her own words:

“I was nervous and anxious as I lined up with the other girls in my age group at start of the 750 meter swim! It was my first triathlon and I had never swum in open water for even close to that distance.

After the horn signaled the start, my heart jumped, but then time seemed to fly by. I exited the water and then quickly found myself having fun on the heavy, borrowed bike I was using. I saw a friend go by me and I screamed, “Great job girl!” When I ran through the finish that day I felt tired and hungry, but I also felt a strong sense of accomplishment.

That was the only triathlon I did that year, but I found myself training for more triathlons and coaching others to do the same. As I grew in the sport and raced more, I also helped others discover their potential. When I met my coach, Joanna Zeiger, I became more empowered, as I was guided by a strong woman who had not only competed at an Olympic level but also had her PhD.

My own desire to do triathlon has helped me overcome the nervous and anxious feelings I had, and a great female role model has helped guide me to become a four time All-American Triathlete. This is why She Does Tri is a reality. My passion for the sport of triathlon parallels my desire to help women of all levels of ability realize they can do well in a triathlon, too!”
