Kristen Faulkner (@FaulknerKristen) has one of the craziest stories at this year's Olympics:
• Grew up in Alaska
• Rowed at Harvard
• Moved to NYC after school
• Started working for a venture capital firm
• Took a beginner's cycling class in Central Park
• Started cycling at 5:00 am before work
• Started competing in local cycling tournaments
• Quit her job & moved to California to cycle full-time
• Added to the USA road cycling roster one month before the Olympic Games
And now, just seven years after taking a beginner's cycling class in New York City, Kristen Faulkner has won gold at the Olympics in Paris — the first American to win gold in the women's road race in 40 years.
INSANE.

Yesterday I rented a boat and took the leader of one of Flexport's partners in Long Beach on a 3 hour of the port complex. Here's a thread about what I learned.
