The Recovery 🩻 Crushed: The Kat Matthews Story | Episode 3

[@T100Triathlon]

Think it's safe to say Kat will be competing with the very best once more this season after an incredible 3rd at Oceanside at the start of April 👏

Kat wil never be the same after her accident, but certainly she is pointing hard toward IM World Championship.

At the risk of being flamed, keep the whinging etc, ban tri bars. It is well enough for closed courses, but athletes must train on open roads. Staring at a line 1m ahead is nfg. The rider must be aware of traffic. And, steering response is compromised while in the armrests. And, the hands must be repositioned to use the brakes Nuts. Tri has grown to a big league level in a few short years. The leadership is not on the ball.

Lucky she didn't break any teeth as well 😮

I feel like these three episodes are a social media pitty party. There's something ugly about feeding off social media for fuss and sympathy, the crash was bad by why the need to extragerate the extent and talk about what could have happened. I did feel bad for Tim Dom, that was a game changer. I'm restrained to feel bad for someone who has already so much support and privilege having chosen to be an athlete which many would jump at the chance of. She's worried about competing again, the population is worried about feeding themselves, buying fuel, training around career/family responsibility. At the end of the day, when the racing starts, there won't be an extra prize for athletes from injury, it's not a superhuman feet of endurance it's life, its human survival which people do daily. It's a tragic crash, but kona doesn't have medals for Oscar performances. On the start line, excuses/tragedies can't be counted or deflect the hard work that all the athletes have put in, crash or no crash. I'm not sure the idea of Finding perspective in life or about life has been grasped here.

Kathy, great video, but its so elementary how you say you don't understand or how it don't make "LOGICAL" sense how you survived this horrific accident? First, given Big Props to ER Provider Gibbons, who assessed you head to toe and treated appropriately with her ER Team! But simply Kathy, there is no LOGICAL sense needed, simply, GOD's angles were with you on that tragic moment, and protected you! Its that simple and logical. As for for your consent niggles, unfortunately will linger for ever, but as the strong willed person/athlete you are, you will simply work out through your persistence in the sport of Tri. As for Marky, quitting the Army, now Dats just Stupid on its Face!! No Doubt, is he not aware its you participating in these events and not HIM? He obviously DOES NOT! Your Loyal followers recommend you and Marky see the flick "Charriots of Fire" for inspiration, It came out roughly when you were born. Read and take to Heart the following: ISAIAH 40.31 Now, 11 days and counting for 140.6 Houston, Texas! Woohoo! Get your mindset correct, trust in him who gave you life and "Get-er-done"!!! Stay hydrated cauz its gonna be humid! Temperatures of low 80's is rather pleasant down there at this time of year. Should be a cake walk for you as long as you keep the FAITH Kathy, All Da Best!!! How come Ruthy ain't doing the event with you? That would have been BRILLIANT!!

My 2c .. It takes 10 years to recover from a career change. Leaving a well paying job where you get on with everyone is the road to hell. For one thing, it is very difficult to get another job because they think you did something wrong at your old job.

[@darringrey4329]

You just had to do the god rubbish if the straw man was watching why didn't he stop the car

[@irvhh143]

Methinks Marky was a bit concerned about being sent to the Ukraine....

THE GREAT KAT!!💪💪😍😍
