True Warrier
Unbelievable photo caught by Rupert Berrington. Please visit his gallery and I thank him in advance for using this photo here with his copyright info.
Why is the photo meaningful. If you know this team mate of mine, you'd be smiling. This is a microcosm of Couch in action. Selfless.
1) He organizes the races RM puts on and has dedicated himself to the ACA for years.
2) He wholly manages the RM-Izze Womans team, growing it into a group of talented ladies who embody team spirit. He'll say adios to the guys on his well earned Saturday ride as they go off on their ride so he can stay with and mentor/clinic/coach the women on skills.
3) He works for his teammates continually. And it's here in this shot that it became obvious to me...having just given the wheel off his brand new Specialized to a team mate at the Kopp.
Rock on Couch. We need to bottle you up somehow. This is the shit that should make people get up in the morning to try and emulate.

Nice! Thanks Jared. The front RM'er, Neal H, told me when I sent him this that teh feedback Sports guy is Nate Llerandi - a world-class pro triathlete about 10 years ago. Ha! Just another day in the Cat 3's in Boulder.
I'll take on any world class tri guy in the dirt any day ;)
