Under the crushing weight of grief from my dad’s death in May, the Gulf Coast Challenge gave me a glimmer of hope that was nearly dashed by a bike wreck six weeks ago that left me with a broken rib and a bruised spirit. But my husband will tell you I am nothing if not stubborn and hard-headed, and today, with five days to spare, I finished my 230-mile challenge. Thanks, FreshJunkie Racing — this medal means more than you will ever know.
