 Possum, the most dear of our fellow BTer's, is feeling a bit of the world's load recently.  I just wanted to give her a shout out and let her know that she has meant so much to me and has played an integral role in my beginning this sport.  Not only has she meant a lot to me in the way of the sport, but more importantly in figuring and sorting out a lot of my feelings/decisions regarding life. 

She keeps me going and smiling.....even when I'm tangled in a mess of extremely tight tri clothes in the bathroom of Fleet Feet.....she quietly reminds me....."AJ....really..you'll need to wear a bra with that, put those away."   

Thanks Possum, you rock!

HOVIS! 

A BT cornerstone!  I give her credit for much of what I've been able to accomplish in the past 6 months.  Open hearted and open minded.  One of the most generous souls I've had the pleasure to meet and someone who has helped re-sell me on inherent kindess of humanity.  Her athleticisim stands on it's own 

PLUS she has a damn fine sense of humor and possesses exemplory driving skills.  You're a very special person, darlin'!

I have never actually met Possum. However, when I first started poking around on BT I noticed this person posting who was funny, intelligent, supportive and from Wisconsin - Possum. So I decided to hang around and here I am still hanging. Thanks Possum.

I love Hollis just cause she's Hollis. Sweet, caring, sensitive, smart, funny, beautiful, wonderfully dorky...there just aren't enough adjectives to adequately describe her. Spend 5 seconds with her and it's like you've known her all your life.

I've never met her either, but Hollis is so nice and funny that she almost makes me wish I was a.., well, but that would mean, wait a minute, I already like that, never mind.  I'm an idiot.

Seriously, Hollis, you're great, and I'm praying for strength and fortune in your "efforts".  I don't know if this is related to that, but I know how tough that road is.

P-Diddy, Queen of the dewey decimal system,  Auntie Hollis to the redheads-

Just like in training, we all need some rest days, take as much time as you need and we will be here when you come back

Take care of yourself,

Tom

Yes. I frequently feel the need to say evil things about people. It is.

I met Hollis at St. Anthony's this year ... and I'll never forget seeing her at 5:30 am in the hotel lobby.  I was feeling all nervous, was deep into my own thoughts + trying to dispel doubt, when Hollis said something witty, funny and just so off the wall that it brought me back to a full smile.

I laughed about her comment all the way through the swim and into the bike.

Sometimes you see who people are just by little comments.  Thanks Hollis! You rock because of just who you are!

Thanks, guys. I've tried to stop crying and feeling sorry for myself, and have had a pretty good day. Then I sneak in for a quick peek on BT, and...water works.  Thanks for your support, I feel like a bit of a drama queen, but...at least I am a queen  AJ, you don;t need me, you are even stronger inside than outside (and that's pretty freakin' strong!)  But I like having you as my friend!

She likes comics, so she can't be all bad.
