Hi Grizz,
Thank you for your reply and it couldn't be more timely. The whole triathalon thing almost brought me to tears. My sister, who was an avid rock/mountain climber, had a terrible accident 3 weeks ago. Her anchors gave out and she fell 20 feet. She broke her back and is now fused from T12 to L2. She has paralysis in both legs and is not expected to walk. But we had always talked about doing a triathalon together, with my 3rd sister, and now with this life changing event for her, the time may be right when she is up some part of it.

I am getting used to riding a bike now. It was definately different at first, but I have adjusted and I am starting to enjoy it more and more. I use the eliptical on off days or bad weather days and it seems to keep me moving ok.

Your 'almost' accident sounded quite scary. I mostly ride on a road trail but there are some times when I am on the street along side the cars. Glad to hear you were fine!
