Betsy BruckenAthlete of the Month 

 

Name: Betsy Brucken 

Coach: Matt Russ

Accomplishment:  Giving up something you love is the hardest thing to do. Betsy Brucken knees, after years of successful competition as a triathlete finally would no support her running. Rather than lament her fate and go into retirement, Betsy adopted a growth mindset and took up two new sports- time trialing and aquabike. After just one season Betsy was top ranked in the Georgia Cup Time Trial series, and ranked number one in her age group in the sport of Aquabike. Way to adapt, overcome, and accept new challenges Betsy!

Another Kid Gets His Bike!

 

Meet Raynel Granell..."Most of all I loved to ride my bike around the neighborhood. I had just learned to ride without training wheels! ... On December 13, I woke up early in the morning with severe ear pain, and I went to my parent's room.  I told mom I hurt.  My dad took me to the doctor and he prescribed some drops for the ear. I felt better in the afternoon, and evening. The next day, I felt worse, began vomiting and had a fever. My parents took me to the emergency room. The doctors rushed me in an ambulance to a regional hospital in other area. While I was in the emergency room, my fever became worse and I began having seizures.  The doctors immediately sent me to the intensive care unit..."  Read more about Raynel and My First Bike
