Her Instagram mentions the recent death of a parent so I could see that could impact her training and performance. Travelling to multiple races at that time would be rough.

And yes, travelling internationally at the moment is such a stresser with all the extra approvals, visas and tests required without the need to fly back to USA for her dads funeral at short notice. Sounds like his death was a complete surprise, no illness etc so yeah.. all that would really throw a girl. She appears to be very close to her family so this would be a very hard time for her.
Katie always talks of consistency in training being key and sadly the last couple of months she hasn't been able to have that. I would expect that with a good 6 week block of training back with her coach and squad she will be likely back to old Katie form.
