*Thanks to the virtual support crew: Hannah, Canyon, Katie, and JJ — this couldn’t have been done without your help. You all believed in me more than I believed in myself.

*Thanks to Exotic Pax for the custom FKP used on this adventure.

*Thanks to coach Forrest Boughner for working with me since this past winter.

*Thank you to everyone who showed up and surprised me at the end: Hannah, Canyon, Katie, JJ, Jameson, and Stefan. You all made the ending so special and memorable.
