My first 'race' with the Cs

Two hospitals, one ‘procedure’ with a plastic surgeon, a cast, at least five needles, antibiotics, T3s, oxycodone, and possibly kissing my campy record groupo good-bye; this is racing in the Cs? It’s everything I heard it would be. You were right Lisa, I scraped right through to my tendon. Don’t count me out altogether, but it sounds like it will be four weeks off the bike.

To say I am bummed is of course massively understating it. But if it is true that bad things happen in threes, then I am officially done with bike accidents. It could still be a good year yet? I would still like to drive some gals out to the race next Sunday to stay connected and see if I can get some volunteer hours in, so let me know who wants to go.

Crash aside, it was really exciting to be in the Cs so I hope those who haven’t tried it yet will get in there. We can definitely ride in that group! Okay, that’s enough left-handed typing for now. Hope to see you all on the road soon!

    I do think everyone knows how tuff you are...not only did Jen want to stay with said injured hand and watch the end of the races, she also wanted to take her bike into the shop, BEFORE she went to the hospital!

    Jen, I saw you today and I know it just "kicked-in" for you... but it's going to be ok, like you said bad things comes in 3; so your done with the bike accidents. Let's put it behind and move towards a fast recovery. I will be there along the way to help you with anything you need, at work and in your life. I will set up the trainers together at work and spin at lunch time or on rainy days.

    Besides, by the look of it; I will be racing novice for awhile... I need to work on my endurance, cause I don't have 15 laps, not even 10 laps of high intensity racing in me yet... hahaha :~)
