What purplepatch Means
After my obvious successes and experiences in the sport, I never would have believed I would have hit such a stumbling block in my athletic career. I have spent the last year regaining my health following a bout of chronic fatigue, with the amazing guidance from Matt Dixon. Our first mission was to simply regain my health, not an easy battle to begin with, and now I feel like I have unfinished business in the sport. Being a part of purplepatch has transformed my view of the sport and given me a renewed excitement to train and compete again.
