Mark raced mountain bikes on the National Circuit for 7 years as a junior, and was the junior national champ in '96. He also did track in high school.

In 1998 he stopped racing when he went to college.

He got back into biking for fun in 2006.

He slowly got serious about training and fell in love with off road triathlon, after watching the 2007 XTERRA National Championship. Three days later in October of '07, he got t-boned by a mini van while on his road bike, and suffered MAJOR trauma injuries. He recovered fast and decided to train, race, and come back stronger than before & focus on XTERRA.

In 2008, (which was his 1st year racing triathlon & XTERRA) he qualified for both Nationals and Worlds and ended the season being ranked 3rd in the west, 8th in the Nation, and 21st in the world. In 2008, he raced over 30 races (they were all top 10 placements except for two).

In 2009 he took a bit of a break from the XTERRA circuit and continued to train and race locally. Mark will be back fully on the XTERRA circuit for 2010. He hopes to someday win a pro XTERRA national and world championship title in the future years to come. He believes NuttZo will fuel him to the top!

Cory Mills is an up and coming grom from North County San Diego. Surfing since age 8, Cory has recently completed his first year on the NSSA circuit and we are expecting even bigger finishes in '10. When not competing in contests, you'll find him ripping spots like 15th street, Pillbox, and Seaside.... and if he's not in the water (which isn't often)... he's probably refueling with one of his favorite snacks, NuttZo (especially on apples!) Good luck this year Cory!

Angie started competing in triathlon, duathlon, and running races in 1986 and participated in the Worlds Duathlon Championships from 1998-2002.

In 2000, she received a bronze medal for Team USA in the 35-39 age group in Calias, France for Short Course Worlds Duathlon.

She has raced 8 marathons.

In 2002, she started Adventure Racing, and raced as part of an elite Team (Team Clif Bar) in the Hi-Tec Adventure Racing Series.

She competed in the Balance Bar 24 adventure race in 2002 and her team finished 9th overall out of 71 teams.

Since 1998 she has participated in over 220 races!

2009 Race Highlights

• 1st in age group at Wyckoff Sprint Triathlon
• 1st in age group at Skylands Duathlon
• 1st in age group at Liberty Corner 4 mile run
• 3rd in age group at Celebrate Life Half Marathon
• 3rd in age group at Randolph Lake Triathlon

In 2010 she plans on competing in 10-15 races and refueling with her jars of Nuttzo!

Dr. Chris Elleraas D.C. eats NuttZo while waiting for his next patients!

"The food and snacks you put into your mouth directly affect the quality of your life!

Eating high-quality foods does reduce the risk of serious health related problems. The benefit of eating high-quality nutrition needs no explanation and 'NuttZo' is definitely in this league! I’m a huge NuttZo fan. NuttZo tastes delicious and you won’t be able to stop eating it, but that’s ok because it’s super healthy. Start today maximizing your body’s potential by supplying the building blocks for replenishment and top performance. Your body doesn't run on exercise alone; it runs on the fuel you put into it. Go NuttZo!”
