Petra Mertl has sights set on Houston

Petra Mertl is making the trip from her Florida home to the mighty state of Texas next month to compete in the Houston Pro Figure show. Despite placing 14th at the California Pro contest she hasn’t let that stop her. She’s made improvements to her physique and is looking to move up in her next show. Petra enjoyed a bowl of chili and a monster sandwich the day after our beach photo shoot. Chili? I wouldn’t have guessed that would be a meal one would crave after the show but apparently soup is high on a few competitor’s “meals to eat after a show”. She tells me she was happy with her showing in California and hopes to continue to improve in her next show. Look for Petra to light her own set of fireworks in Houston.
