- It's always exciting to see another Kristin that spells her name right. (Ha, most people spell my name with an "e" because it's the more common spelling) She sounds amazing!! What a wonderful lens about her accomplishments.

- Great lens. I love 'hero' lenses like this, it's what Squidoo is about to me. I didn't know much about her, but now I do and definitely admire her. I'm ashamed to say that although I follow men's road cycling, I don't know much about the women's.

- This is great and a good lens to do. We need more lenses like these of local heros. then a group made to have all our local heros there. I think kids should read these to let them know that there are a lot of heros out there. 5***** I would give you 10 stars if I could.
