One Sleep

So this is it. My final post before I leave.

I can't think about leaving without getting pretty choked up about it. This year has been such a tremendous experience. I can't thank CTAPP or Brian or the other riders enough for their tremendous support over the past year.

Thinking back to the first team ride I've amazed myself just how far I've come and can't wait to see where it will lead from here. Jim thanks for the tire changes and the pushes, Vanessa you are the one that started it all in a Starbucks a little over a year ago. Ann just thanks, I can't possibly put it into words, you know. Mo and Mike thank you for twisting my arm into Ironman. (well I say thanks now!) Wes, thank you for always beating me up the hills and letting me win that one time. Scott I couldn't have handled the Sponsorship stuff without you. Pam made the best triathlon partner/supporter. I can't wait to train for Ironman 08 with you! Ian, Chad, Ty you guys crack me up. I'll look forward to seeing you in transition! There is too much to say and too many to thank. I just love all of you and I'm sad that I won't get to ride with everyone! Thank you for sharing this with me.

My life has taken this weird and wonderful turn. I never would have expected a year ago that I would be doing this but I can't imagine my life without it.

I'll do my best to post enroute. See you in Bee Cave!


May the wind be at your back,
The sun in your face,
All the hills go down,
and your tires stay full!!
