The long warm days of summer are perfect for more than relaxing in a lounge chair at the beach or lake–the extra daylight is advantageous for productivity from work to training!

What To Wear
We are in LOVE with the new SMACK! Media Tri and Cycling Kits designed by Kristin Mayer at Betty Designs. The fun pink and orange set will make its racing debit this weekend when Eli races the Vineman 70.3.
Triathlon and travel are a family affair for the Carlsons, her son Andrew is sitting atop husband Matt’s shoulders below, and we are certain they are both ready to kick ass at Vineman! This Image was featured in The Princeton Alumni Weekly during their 10 year reunion this May. (Eli and Matt met Freshman week!)
On The Go
Travel with family is nothing new to Eli. This month she spilled her Professional Mom travel secrets to Fit Pregnancy Magazine.
Vision Quest
On the bike sunglasses as protective eye-wear are a necessity–especially if you wear a prescription! The August “Tour De France Edition” of Bicycling Magazine shares the best tips from SportRx to select the right pair for you!
Fun fact: The cover image was taken outside Mammoth Lakes where our own Morgan Gonzalez lives and trains!
Elevated Experience
It’s been one year since Morgan moved to Mammoth Lakes and in that time she has soaked in everything the mountains have had to offer. Mammoth is home to some of the best runners in the world and she has had the incredible experience of running alongside them, learning about training at altitude and making leaps in her performances.
Here she is in Freeplay Magazine icing her legs in a mountain stream side by side with Asics Mammoth Track Club athletes Lauren Kleppin (2:28 Marathoner) and Josephat Boit (2:12 Marathoner).
Mammoth Sierra Magazine caught Morgan and husband Sergio on the trails with frequent running partner Bria Wetsch who qualified for the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials at this year’s Boston Marathon.
Here they are stride for stride with Olympic Bronze Medalist Deena Kastor. (Morgan shows off her purple SMACK! tank below.)

Get Outside and Unplug
This past holiday weekend (July 4th), the SMACKANISTAS all made a conscious effort to unplug, enjoy their beautiful surroundings and time with family. From lakefront carnivals on the east coast, insane Newport Beach parties, ocean play time and backpacking in the Sierras, we all came into this week refreshed and excited about the passionate work at SMACK! Media that we look forward to take pride in each day.
