Episode description

 

We've got a party, a celebration, in this episode of "I Could Never Do That," which I'm affectionately changing to "I Could Never Do That (Yet!)" for this show.

Two-and-a-half years ago, a freak fall rendered Laurie Allen, a nine-time Ironman, a quadriplegic.  The accident may have broken her neck, but it didn't break her spirit or will to return to the sport she loves.

On August 6th, 2017, Laurie did return to triathlon at Jack's Generic Tri in Austin with the help of her tribe, "Team Yet!" In this show, we talk to members of her team and how this journey has transformed their lives. Of course, we also dive deep with Laurie and talk about some of the good, the bad, and the ugly of the last two years. 

We don't mince words or emotions.  You'll laugh, cry, and come to know this woman who is made of grit, heart, and, of course, Iron.
