I can't say it enough, but I can try...

Thanks to Dennis for putting up with my obsession, lack of spare energy, and neglect of domestic chores.

Thanks to Kirk for digging out all those old issues of Ultrarunning so I could send my application in with everything I needed.

Thanks to Ken and Josh for sending letters of recommendation from crewing and pacing from several years ago.

Thanks to Steph for being the most incredible organizer and on top of every little detail.

Thanks to Christopher, Renee, Nathan, and Felix for their enthusiasm and support.

Thanks to the Buffaloes for loving me unconditionally no matter how bad I smell.
