A Message from Gab

"Team - it is with the utmost regret that I had to withdraw from the race due to a leg injury. Unfortunately although my calf was better once taped it only meant that other parts of my legs now had to compensate. Ultimately my IT band was on fire and my quads were shot. When my pole broke the second time my race was over as I stumbled down the mountain to the aid station in absolute agony. 

My race came to an end but I am hoping that in the future we can use Team Rise to fundraise and highlight an individual or teams that are willing to go above and beyond to support our community!!

I would like to thank Julia for her tireless effort supporting me during the race but more importantly for supporting me during the 9 months of preparation where we had to make many sacrifices as a family to allow me to train and follow a very strict diet!! Thankful for the best teammate one can hope for. And I have it everyday.

Failure is just the beginning of a much bigger journey!! ...(might be back)"
