Can you back up a little for our listeners that don't know your story? Like, take us back to, uh, the day or the week that you were moving to Girona.
4:50
Um, yeah.

I, so I had been slated to join B&B Hotels, uh, Paris Cycling as it was gonna be called, in, at the end of 2022.
5:01
So I planned to move out of my house in Seattle, where I lived with my husband and my brother.
5:10
And my husband, Wade, and I were gonna move our whole lives over to Girona, um, at the start of 2023, which really on New Year's Eve was our flight over.
5:21
And, uh, I had booked a flight in earlier December to join a team camp, um, that was supposed to happen.
5:31
So on December 6th, I got a call, uh, from my eventual teammate on another team, uh, [laughs] Audrey Cordon-Ragot, and she told us, it was a, a big group call with the whole team, um, and she informed us that the team was, in fact, collapsing, um, and that B&B Hotels would not go forward.

Like how do you keep going?
