AM - 7.5 City Wells. Out running with the dog and I bumped into the team. So I ran with Nick for his last run before leaving tomorrow (don't worry, I didn't run with, coach, or interact the team; Nick and I did our own thing). It was great having one last chat with him. I wish that every coach could get to work with a kid like Nick once in their career - hard worker, respectful, energetic, smart, leader, role model; I never had to get on his case with anything. He trusted me completely and I trusted him - and it worked out awesome, not perfect, but that's what makes it perfect. I've been blessed enough to have had a handful of guys and girls like him, and he's one of the best. (Riders 584.25)
