It's been a long time since I've updated this website about my adventures with TNT. This event would have been my 5th event with Team in Training and would have earned my "Triple Crown" for racing and completing three different types of endurance events with the team, however...life as it happens...On August 19th I was involved in a skydiving accident that left me with a shattered ankle, dislocated and displaced tibia, and a broken fibia...

Broken bones and bicycles don't mesh, so I will not be able to compete in the bike ride portion of this event. However, it's still a win and a success because all of the money fundraised will go to a great cause with the Leukemia Society to fund it's many ventures including research and helping patients with the disease.

I will be on the road to recovery for a long time, but this is not the last TNT will be seeing of me. Thank you to everyone that has supported this event and me in all of the crazy things that I do. Right now I will be focusing on recovery and trying to get back to my normal life...if it was normal at all :)

Enjoy the small moments and love the ones that love you back. We all know "life is too short" but we tend to ignore that. Life is wonderful, and so are the people in it. Smile and be happy in the face of adversial times.
