I'm back!!!!!
I just want to post this blog to tell everyone the magic of multi-sport. A year ago, Easter Sunday, I had a horrific bike crash in which I broke my neck, both arms and my pelvis. (I blogged this last year) Well it is June a year and a few months later and I am planning to do my first tirathlon since my accident. I will do Patanella's Flat as a Pancake, this Sat, the 27th of June. I have returned to all 3 sports (yes I am on my new bike). I have to say it has been quite the process, but with the support of my friends and family, all is possible. I don't expect to win my age group, but I expect to finish. My competition has been my own body, and what I have had to do to regain my old self. So now I am certain that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.
