#17 Teammates

These are the people you wake up for in the early hours of the morning. The people who challenge you, support you and inspire you to be faster. They are with you through the good and bad, thick and thin. They are your second family.

It all starts with having a common goal. Day after day, you train together in hopes of achieving that goal. You get to know who your teammates truly are and who they are as athletes. You build an unshakeable trust amongst one another and when it comes to that point where you have to go above and beyond there isn't a doubt in your mind because you know everyone will take it to that next level. Your teammates are the people you fight for when you feel like you have nothing left to give.

When you finally reach that goal, success is that much sweeter when you have someone to share it with. And you wouldn't want to share it with any other people in the world. The fact that you will fight and die for these people makes teammates...

Awesome!

Go Team(mates)!
