What I learned training for and completing my first ultra

1. Importance of nervous system regulation and staying relaxed in distance running
2. Focusing on and using my breath to guide me through
3. Trail running is just extreme hiking and you get to spend all day outside
4. “This is hard but I can do it” mindset with a smile
5. It’s fun to eat candy all day and call it fueling🤪
6. Loved signing up and doing this with my friend @maura_oco
7. Invite your boyfriend to cheer you on at the aide station @dillionaround

We had so much fun exploring the kelp forest and reef with Annie. When she is not running a Swim-Run you will find her holding her breath underwater.

Thanks for capturing these beautiful shots @breathholdholze . What a wonderful place I got the opportunity to retreat to and teach breath work. A chance to share with others what I have learned and to continue to hone my craft. Continuing to reminisce and remind myself to appreciate moments of stillness as life moves forward around us.

H2O Games 2026 recap in one minute 🌊

Such a fun and unique event that’s constantly changing and evolving.

This year, a huge focus in training was building my upper body strength so I could confidently handle the 35 lb dumbbells — definitely outside my comfort zone.

So proud of me and my partner @mkniels for competing together two years in a row and pushing each other through every event.

One thing I noticed this year: the faster I tried to go and the harder I pushed, the more mistakes I made. When I reeled it in, focused on my breath, and stayed intentional with my movement, everything flowed better — especially the transitions from land to water.

It was such a good reminder that sometimes taking an extra second to reset actually helps you perform better. Pacing, breath control, and managing your heart rate under stress are just as important as strength and speed.

Loved seeing our hard work come together on land, and in the water. So fun to compete with ya @mkniels

Grateful to be part of this community 🤍

So fun going neck and neck with @lcs16488 and @lobachsquats and ending the day with a tie for first!! @h2osandiego @h2o.fitness @lskd.usa @buzzed.honey @blenderbottle @drinklmnt by @anniferstahl

To think sharks used to be my biggest fear…

I just hadn’t gotten to know them yet. Such beautiful animals and incredible to see in the water. Thanks @davidrstudios for the beautiful shots!

Some screen grabs from this weekend’s shoot with my brilliant, beautiful, talented water women friends @anniferstahl and @jennacity. So grateful that Annie and Jenna were so happy to model for me in the cold ocean in no wetsuits!😅 And huge thanks to @dillionaround for taking us out on the @brotherssportfishing boat! Couldn’t have done it without all of you! Video to come soon! taken in San Diego, California by @anniferstahl

Underwater where anyone can find the flow to move and dance with ease and grace in a way that you can’t find on land.

On land if I try to dance, I have trouble finding the rhythm and the coordination. Underwater I am able to create my own music and move with playfulness and exploration.

Thanks to @pepiaux for capturing these shots of my underwater dance and allowing me to see myself in a form that I didn’t know existed.

Love continuing to share these epic photos from my trip to the cenotes this summer with @blackfinfreediving and @oceangalz
