Life with a triathlete has its emotional ups and downs, but luckily, I have to admit, mainly ups. Once in a while, however, you are hit hard. Most of you probably know by now that my trihubby was hit and injured by a drunk driver on a training ride a few months ago. It was a huge event for my family and we are learning…
