TESTIMONIAL
When Christi began working with Black Iron Nutrition Performance coach Whitney six months ago, she set a goal to podium at one of her races this season. Not only did she achieve that goal earlier in the season, but she also secured another podium finish at the recent Killer Creek 12 Hour race. Christi pushed herself lap after lap, covering an impressive 48 miles in 10 hours—farther than she’d ever gone before. Her hard work and determination paid off as she finished first place among females and 6th overall!

Facing the challenges of the hot day, Christi navigated the course with determination. Despite an unexpected hydration hiccup early on (realizing she was without electrolytes for the first 8-mile loop), she adapted and made smart use of the aid station to ensure she stuck to her plan.

Christi's hydration strategy, put together by her coach Whitney, proved crucial. With the heat taking its toll on fellow runners, Christi's proactive approach kept her in the race, avoiding potential dehydration issues.

Expressing her gratitude to coach Whitney, Christi said: 'Thank you for your continued guidance through this ultra journey I have found myself on. I really feel like a legit athlete and now I am performing like one too! It is cheesy, but I get emotional thinking about how things have worked out, and that careful planning and hard work can actually make some big results. Thank you so much for being a big part of that.
