The Australian native is building momentum, with a win at IRONMAN 70.3 Victoria and a second-place finish at Challenge Cancun as she sets her sights on the 2019 championship in Kona on October 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the partnership, Carfrae will begin training in the latest innovation from Master Spas \u2014 an H2X Fitness Swim Spas Challenger model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really excited to be partnering with Master Spas,\u201d Carfrae says. \u201cIRONMAN training takes up a lot of my day and having a swim spa at home will not only save time but also allow me more time with our baby daughter Isabelle.&nbsp;&nbsp;She loves the water, too. There\u2019s a high probability that play time with her in the swim spa will surpass my swim training time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Challenger series from Master Spas bridges the gap between traditional jetted swim spas and propulsion systems. The unique airless jet system creates a water current that is more efficient, powerful, and smoother than the competition. With the ability to control the resistance and temperature, novice swimmers to competitive triathletes can enjoy a continuous swimming experience that mimics open water. That\u2019s why swim spas from Master Spas are the official swim spa of the IRONMAN\u00ae World Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carfrae, who is known as Rinny, began racing triathlons at the age of 19. In 2001, she made the 2001 Australian Junior Elite Team and hasn\u2019t looked back since. She\u2019s taken the win three times at the IRONMAN\u00ae World Championships in Kona, as well as won more than 20 IRONMAN\u00ae 70.3 events. She trains in Boulder, Colorado, where she lives with husband Tim O\u2019Donnell and daughter Isabelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to welcome Rinny into the Master Spas Family,\u201d says Kevin Richards, vice president of sales and marketing. \u201cRinny is a fierce competitor who wants to be at her best, all the while taking care of daughter Isabelle. Like so many people, she has to balance her training with being a mom, wife, and business woman. Swim spas from Master Spas can help people of all levels train better and recover smarter while keeping family first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carfrae joins Master Spas brand ambassadors IRONMAN\u00ae champion Ben Hoffman and legendary swimmer Michael Phelps.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>About MasterSpas<\/h2>\nMasterSpas is based in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
