Hi Scott, I was reading about your adventures online last night - so sorry to read about the crash.
Glad to hear that you're going for the challenge regardless - as you might recall, my house burned down 2 weeks before we did Ironman in NZ last year, and rather than set me back, I think it actually honed my mental toughness, so hope the same happens for you!
I am now living in Dubai, so if there's any way to come and support you in person, maybe run some of the Dubai leg with you? please do let me know as I'd be honoured
