Rachel Carrillo won the lightweight Master's division at California's Strongest Woman this year. Before she got into Strongman, Rachel was a Crossfit regional games athlete and an Ironman athlete and ultrarunner. And before that, she started as an elite artistic roller skater, traveling the world performing with a roller dance troupe in a white leotard -- just like Olivia Newton-John in Xanadu!
She owns a Strongman and Crossfit gym where she’s forging strong people and training to become the world’s strongest woman.  She’s also a mom, a cat mom, and a person who can make Forever 21 look like a million dollars after taxes. Someday maybe I'll have visible obliques to flex too! Until then, I am happy to live vicariously through knowing this powerhouse.
You can follow Rachel’s journey to the Nationals this September in Vegas at @rachelannecarrillo. Or if you're in Southern California, you can come train with her and get inspired by her at Crossfit Divinity.
