We Can Do Hard Things

Meet the Brinton's... CAMILLE:  Camille has so many crowns on Strava, they had to buy extra space on the cloud just to hold them all. But seriously, she loves her crowns more than real jewelry. And speaking of real jewelry, her dad is a garbage man that showers her with diamonds so I don't have to buy her any. We spend most of our money on bikes and food. Two of her greatest loves, after me, her husband. I am known around these parts as Camille's husband. I have been the first gentleman of the Relief Society, the greatest honor of my life. She is a true native of the Valley, born and raised in the shadow of the Wasatch Mountains, graduated from Highland High School, then earned a Master's of Nursing from New York University. She puts her all into everything she does. She has four strong children that she loves and serves daily, teaching them that they can do hard things and that failure is a wonderful opportunity to learn and press forward. She has embraced the mantra of the Mi Duole Mandolarian creed, THIS IS THE WAY, meaning she is hopeful and full of love, and endures until the end, whether that be the Wasatch 100 or an extremely long church meeting. She has been on the podium more than most. When the Master's National Road Racing Championship came to Ogden a few years ago, she ended up on the podium for the Criterum. She's been on the podium at LOTOJA, she's been on the podium for Tour de Park City, B4K, Tour de Sol. She's been on the podium for P2P, you get the point. She is kind of a big deal. More impressive than her podiums though is the fact that she is the best wife I've ever had, a wonderful mother, a friend to all, a caring nurse, a delightful cook and a stone cold killer on the bike....
