a year ago

A year ago around 11:45am I lost control of my bike on a descent through switchbacks. I suffered a broken collar bone, collapsed lung, fractured ribs, and L1 burst fracture in my lower spine that has put me in a #wheelchair. One year later I swam through duck ? infested lake water training for a #paratriathlon and then rewarding myself with chicken fried steak and a side of bacon. #HappyAnniversary.
