Wednesday, May 13 2015 - Mountain Running Champion Recovering from Hit-and-Run |
On April 30, our friend Sjaan Gerth was a victim of a hit and run while on a training ride north of Toronto. Sjaan is the current men’s Canadian Mountain Running Champion and competed for Canada in Italy in 2014, placing 34th as the top Canadian.
He suffered a spinal fracture as well as fractures in both legs. He is currently in a Toronto hospital recovering and is facing a long period of rehabilitation. He expects to make a full recovery, though he is uncertain if he will return to competition.
Our thoughts are with Sjaan for a positive and speedy recovery.
