Veteran  316  Norfolk, VA |  Subject: TH3_FRB cycling accidentHey BTers...sad news tonight.. Joel, TH3_FRB was hit by a car tonight while cycling. He is doing ok however, will be in the hospital for a few days. He is having surgery on his hip tomorrow. His hip is broken in two places and looks pretty nasty. The Dr. says he'll be off his feet for atleast 3 months, not to mention rehab, etc. The a**hole that hit him left the scene right afterwards...but Joel vaguely remembers someone saying they got her license plate number. The bike is not looking very good...but thank god this wasn't worse! Joel had a great time in Boston...but it looks like that may be the only race he does in 2006. Another bad thing is that we live on the 3rd floor of our building...no elevator..which means he'll be going CRAZY not being able to get out of the home! I'm not sure what time his surgery is, but I'll be sure to keep you posted. I know your willpower and thoughts carried him through that marathon...so please, keep it going so that he gets through this surgery with the best outcome. BTW....It was the lady's fault...not Joel's. He was going straight at a green light when she was turning left from the other side of the road. Not to mention it was a hit and run...so hopefully we'll find her! (Although....if I find out who she is..you might want to pray for her!) Take care and please, keep him in your thoughts. Katie (TH3_DFL) |

Champion 6931 Bellingham, Washington | Subject: RE: TH3_FRB cycling accident That Sucks! He should have been in a week long recovery and basking in his glory.... Prosecute the H&R driver with EXTREME Prejudice. Hope all the surgery goes smoothly. Lucky for him, he has a very good athletic background and physiology and should have an easier rehab than most. |

| Mesa | Subject: RE: TH3_FRB cycling accident As a fellow BTer that was hit by a car today, I hope Joel heals well. I was lucky to be hit at a slow speed and turned with the car saving my bike. It is sad that his season will be cut short. I'll cross my fingers so that he can have a quick "T.O." recovery. |

| Extreme Veteran 570 | Subject: RE: TH3_FRB cycling accident Man, that just sucks! He had such a great BM and his year was looking to be killer. I've been a bit of a blog lurker of Joel's cause he sticks so well to the HR training and has had such tremendous results. So happy to hear it was not worse. So glad. But really bumming for him. He was set for a hell of a season. Definitely keep him in our prayers etc. |

| Expert 822 | Subject: RE: TH3_FRB cycling accident Please relay my best wishes for a speedy recovery to Joel. I was on the edge of my seat watching his Boston performance online. I guess his challenges for the rest of the year are just different now. I'm still interested in following his progress and I expect him to deliver another stellar performance! Mike |

| Veteran 691 | Subject: RE: TH3_FRB cycling accident This is just awful. I just received an email from him yesterday! We were all so incredibly proud of him and he told me he knew he had it in him to do even better. I was thinking of him all day yesterday, just in utter amazement of his abilities both physically and mentally. Because he owns those abilities, his rehab should be extremely successful. Wish him the best for me. Rhonda |

| Master 2381 Frisco, Texas | Subject: RE: TH3_FRB cycling accident That really sucks. I hope they find the driver. Traffic is one thing that haunts me when riding. I love cycling, but the way some people drive just...well creates pain like this. Enough. I wish Joel a speedy recovery and will keep him and his family in my thoughts and prayers. TJ |
