Austin's Fittest

Austin Fit Magazine recently sponsored a competition to find the Top 10 Fittest athletes in town—and the Texas Rollergirls own Bloody Mary (aka, Juliana Gonzales) made the list.

From the magazine: “Here at Austin Fit Magazine we spend a lot of time thinking about the word ‘fit.’ What does it mean exactly? Does it refer to physical prowess, agility and speed? Does it require a certain number of hours on the treadmill or bike every week? What does it take to be truly fit? This year’s selection of 10 of Austin’s Fittest all embody what we believe to be the true definition of the word ‘fit.’ Nominated by members of the Austin community, the qualifications asked that nominees be committed not only to their own personal health and fitness, but dedicated to helping others achieve a more active lifestyle as well.”

And if any of y’all want to take on Bloody Mary, I hear you can often find her running ‘round the streets of Austin and skating like a demon at Playland’s speed class. She’s also a member of our Texas Rollergirls Texecutioners team, which means she’ll being going helmet-to-helmet with all comers at the WFTDA National Championship in Austin on September 29 & 30. Good luck keepin’ up with her!

This is a HUGE accomplishment—not just for Bloody Mary personally, but for our sport. Kudos to Austin Fit for recognizing that athleticism and fishnet stockings are not mutually exclusive.
