Trail & Ultrarunner
Melissa Perez, or "Mel," is a self-declared cowbell-ringing Chingona with a big heart. Life is better with more cowbell. She owns and coaches La Dirección, an ultra-running coaching service. When she is not running, you can find her adventuring with her rescue pup Rebel or in her kitchen trying to capture her grandma's tortilla recipe.
Favorite Fluid Product: I am currently obsessed with Fluid Performance Passion Fruit Tea; it has the morning "pick me up" I need for those early weekend long runs.
