A huge congratulations to Kristin Armstrong, a person who has been a source of inspiration for me. I still remember our first road race together in Whitefish, MT prolly 11 years ago, where the two of us were away in a two up break and we shared a Coke given to us by someone in a car… She deserves this Gold more than anyone I know.
