Carlsbadistan’s J.P. Theberge, who lost his leg in a motorcycle accident in 1997, brought home a gold medal for Team USA in the Vancouver BG Triathlon World Championships amputee division held June 6, 2008.
The race itself went great, even though they ended up shortening the swim by 400 meters due to hypothermia in the women’s race the day before. I was actually 15th out of the transition area and started reeling people in one by one on the hilly bike course. I averaged 23 mph on the bike and finally overtook the number two guy on the last loop. . .
