Me: Don't let the smile fool you. I am mad! Waiting for x-rays on my hand and shoulder after crashing at mile 50 of Tour de Mesa. Thanks (not) to the rider in front of me who lost control of his bike when reaching for his water bottle in a group of 100 racers going 30+ mph. He caused the crash resulting in 7 riders with injuries and broken bikes. Ugh! It was fun until then! Strong ride with Tim Porthouse and Vitesse. Hoped for a different ending but I will mend.
Update after x-rays: Nothing broken! Wahoo! Still mad at the careless racer but incredibly thankful for being "ok". I had hesitated to do this event because of it's reputation for crashes - so I was being extra careful and staying near the front of the peleton all morning (which usually keeps one safe). Was having a great race until the accident. Oh well. Think I'll go hiking with Harley tomorrow. No crowds and feet on the ground. :-)
So happy that you weren't injured more than you were...hope tomorrow finds you feeling fit as a fiddle...be careful on your hike with Harley!!! Stay Safe!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Karen! Unlucky the accident happened but really lucky I didn't have worse injuries. For that I am thankful. I am stiff and sore today but considering what happened, not as bad as I thought I would be.
