Lara is an experienced crew person, a Clinical Dietician, and my wife. But that's just the icing on the cake. Let me share just one story to give some perspective on how she impacts my life. Back in Dec. when I was trying to decide on what my 2006 cycling schedule looked like, I pulled out a calendar and highlighted all of the dates and named every major event I could find. Then I brought the schedule home to talk about with Lara. When I handed it to her to see what was going to work best for us, she just set it down and looked me in the eyes and asked, "Chris which one inspires you most, which one really excites you deep down. That's the one you should choose." And that's when this journey began. To put it simply she makes it all possible. Through her love, friendship, encouragement, and endless support.
