On April 18, 2017, professional triathlete Lauren Parker from Australia was just a few weeks from her first Ironman as a pro when both tires flatted at the same time during a training ride and she ended up paralyzed from the waist down. In October, the Challenged Athletes Foundation brought Lauren to San Diego for our San Diego Triathlon Challenge – aka the Best Weekend in Tri- and Lauren loved her experience. She went home totally energized, and this weekend, 10 months after her tragic accident, she was named to the Australian Paratriathon Team for the Commonwealth Games. Go Lauren!
