It is a rare moment in life when you get to feel so deeply satisfied and I am soaking it in! One of the wonderful things about this accomplishment is that it is one which I sincerely feel is shared with so many people. Forgive me for having an Oscar moment but I must thank the following people individually: Orion my husband for your unwavering support, my kids Jake and Lily, my mom and dad for all that you do and all that you are, my friends Maureen, Rose, Molly, and Mia( who all lovingly care for my children so I can train and compete), IC athletes for your support and inspiration, thank you to Valery Foderenko for bringing such an amazing sport to the U.S. and for your continued dedication to technique and integrity, Cate Imes for your generous support from the very beginning, the AKC team, CDuff for your friendship and always perfectly timed platform support, thank you to my fellow kettlebell athletes I learn from each of you every time I am with you( a special appreciation to the amazing female lifters around the globe), thank you to my team mates-you inspire, uplift, and amaze me everyday, and of course a giant thank you to my Coaches Maya and Steve -you believed in me from the start and taught me how to believe in myself!
