Last time we talked to Joel, he was getting ready for LotoJa, the epic amateur cycling race from Logan, Utah to Jackson Wyoming. Joel and his team had their eyes set squarely on the win when a couple of training accidents put everything in question. We talk Joel's accidents, the frustration that comes with character flaws, coping with injury, the power of the priesthood, and the value of adversity in our lives.
