Comments: Wow, what can I say? For the last year, I had been training by myself. I had become quite independent when it came to training. I didn't need anyone for anything, yet, there is no way I could have done this race by myself. For someone who was so independent, I absolutely needed the BT crew for everything. It was such a humbling experience to have people that I had never met in real life, give so much of themselves to help me reach my goal. I owe them so much.

I was simply in awe of the other athletes, what an honor to be competing alongside them. And to people like Brett and Cathy, thanks wouldn't begin to express my apprectiation. The BT community is simply awesome. To have someone you've never met come from another state and work their tail off for you, especially in the conditions we had this weekend...again, WOW! Like I said, there is no way I would have made it without them. And you know who I credit
