Team SMASHFEST QUEEN and 2017

I'm incredibly psyched about everything coming up next year.

Aside from being an official member of Team USA, I will also be representing Team SMASHFEST QUEEN! I applied for it earlier in the year  thanks to my friend Sandra's encouragement, but didn't think I'd have much of a chance since it's a pretty popular brand in the world of triathlon... but life once again proved to me that where there's a will, there's a way. I'll be wearing their gear at all my upcoming races- Including 70.3 Pucon and 70.3 Lake Placid- I am psyched! Check them out HERE. Their gear is comfy AND beautiful.
Next up? 70.3 Ironman Pucon on January 15th. I'll be headed down to Chile (my home country) to race in what has been argued to be the most beautiful race in the world. With my book coming out in December, training has been hard to fit in, but after a few weeks of setting the alarm to 4:45 every morning, you get use to it.
I've also been working on metabolic efficiency, and it has been showing some amazing results;  I've lost 10 pounds! Essentially, I've increased my fat intake and significantly reduced my carbohydrate intake- aka: becoming a fat burning machine by ensuring my body is going into ketosis. I've done some intermittent fasting. Coach Kitty has been helping me reach these awesome results. I still have a little more to go and I look forward to becoming a lean racing machine in 2017!
