A friend of mine was hit by a car while riding her bike. She was on the Canadian National team for Tri. She was in a coma for a month and it took her 2 years to work through all her injuries, multiple fractures etc. Finally 2 years later she decides to try to race. No expectations, no pressure. She placed in a national team qualifier, her first race back and ended up going to Mexico City for worlds.

Just a little inspirational story.
