Susan, Emery &Maris Best
[For waiting an hour later than expected out on the run course. I cannot tell you how it felt to round the bend near the amphitheatre to see the three of you cheering. My favorite moment was running with Emery to the aid station and having her cheer for me as we ran. One! We are the Vikings. Two! A little bit louder! Three! I still can't hear you four and more and more and more!]
Renee & Johnny Griffin
[for my pre-race goodie package - my journal of awesome, my Coke, my ChickfilA gift card and so much more! for being out on the bike course - about mile 30ish and for keeping the beat of the metronome on the run. Can't wait for you to do it NEXT YEAR!]

[for being there for the past four years! for your enthusiasm, creativity and for connecting with me and all the athletes. Thank you for reaching out each year - for remembering the stories of the athletes who are reaching remarkable milestones with every step. I'm proud to call you friend.]
Kim Garnette & Kylee
[Kim, your support and encouragement and interest every Tuesday and Thursday night at spin class made my training count. I looked forward to our conversations and loved that you shared Kylee's successes with me all season. I was proud to take you both with me on race day - I had glitter (from the card) in my hair and her picture in T1 and T2 and your names were on my water bottles!]
Todd Francis, Scott Howard and David Thomas
[for checking in on me all day on race day. Ain't I somethin'?]
