There’s little room for fuck-up when it comes to IRONMAN race day fuel.

When I reflect back at my last fitness retreat that I lead in February, before COVID-19 came crushing into our lives, I find myself feeling incredibly fortunate. Fortunate that I got to experience Guatemala pre-pandemic and that I shared this journey with nine other exception warriors that I now call my friends. As a group we shared so many highs and lows in 7 transformative days.
One of my highs and lows was on the same day, when we volunteered at a Mayan preschool in Lake Atitlan. Our day started by helping the children craft an artwork and ended with a kid’s yoga class. That’s right! I lead my first ever kids yoga and I fucking loved it!
