I will preface this with "sniff". I am definitely going to miss having my birthday twin around. We started training together in the summer of 2003, and through a whole lot different life-altering events we remained friends. So I am pretty sure that a measly few hundred miles won't change that. I know that you are going to kick ass as a head coach. Good luck, Miranda! Hoya Saxa!

First summer at Riverside, at Canadian Henley. We were so serious back then.

A year later at Henley, with Marika, Bryna and Amy, winning the quad.

NSR I, 2005, advancing to the A/B semi.

Totally confounding the rowing community by switching the lineup halfway through racing, the "twins" won the double at Canley. (with Ann)

With Liane at the Charles in 2005.

Last CRASH-Bs before having to (mostly) hang up the oars. Miranda, you should show this to your athletes from time to time, especially when they argue with you.
