Her Story of I’MPOSSIBLE

Turning the impossible into I’mPossible isn’t easy. It requires
tremendous work, dedication and, at times, blind faith.

In 2011, I suffered a near career ending crash during an Ironman
competition. In one second, I’d broken 6 bones; two ribs, an
elbow, my pelvis in two places and my hip. Doctors told me I
might never run again and that most certainly, my career as a
professional athlete was over. I was too broken, my career too
NEW GENERATION physically demanding and the prospect of a return was……
impossible.

I awoke the next day, and set about to finish that day healthier
IN AN IDEAL WORLD than I’d started it. I learned to stand. To walk. To stand on one
pOWER IN IS POWER OUT foot. And eventually, to swim, bike, and run. Every day, I pledged
to finish the day doing something I hadn’t been able to do the day
before.

It took years, but ultimately, I turned the impossible into I’mPossible
and I did it with the amazing support of companies like Blue. You
see, Blue was not all-together different than I was, at that time.
Together, Blue and I reinvented ourselves thru discipline,
dedication, a passion for what we do, and an insatiable desire for
excellence, transforming an uncertain future into a 2015 Ironman
Taiwan victory.
