Roll Credits

Achieving a goal doesn't happen on your own. People are there to help show you what you need to know, to kick you in the butt, to provide a measure by which to gauge your progress. We've had a bunch.

For oustanding achievement in getting Kirsten and Charles to complete their first xc ski race... may I have the envelope please...

Terry Smythe, Aspirus Keweenaw Fitness Center, Erg Monster organizer

Deb & Dennis Kamrad, Portage Lake Rowing Club

Steve Neal, Crossfit Orangeville

Scott Machalk, Bill Houghton, Crossfit Marquette

Theresa Rosenquist, Crossfit Appleton

Kari, Paul and Erin 'I know how to ski' Lyle, Team Lyle

Fellow competitors

I've had at least lengthy conversations, lessons or workouts with each of these people. If you count correspondence and research, there are many more.

Thanks!

Ciao,

Charles
