A single picture can't really summarize a friendship that started when we both got to Riverside, and has kept going through training, racing, winning, losing, weddings, birth, death, and a whole lot of dirty water. Zombie, Riverside won't be the same without you. I think all of us who were fortunate enough to train with you are both better people and athletes because of it. Good luck in KC, and don't worry, we'll come and visit you. Just make sure there's BBQ.
