Back from the Sun

Just got back from Tucson. It was 90 and sunny. While I was gone it snowed almost 2 foot. The race went pretty good. I had a2 good race and 2 bad races. In the Hill climb prologue I got 14th and my time trial I was 24th out of 90 racers. My 2 road races wasn't so good. I crashed and went the ditch on the first one and the second one I ran out of gears on this super long decent.
My body feels so much better now than it did a few weeks ago. This weekend I will do the Kincaid Loop Road Race. That should be lots of fun. Lots of people usually attend that one since its one of the first road races of the season.

Rock Wall and Snow

This is the spot where I got smacked down by rocks. Crazy to stop by and actually see where it all happened. I'm feelin a little better day by day. Still have some pain in my left leg and hip flexor.

This is what we saw Tuesday and Wedesday. Crazy for almost the mild of April. No road ride now.

Day 6 (Recovery)

I got a good 1:30 in on the trainer today. I got in the hot tub afterwards and stretched out. Felt pretty good. Trying to get health fast and get back to normal.
Got my tattoo finished up today. Took about a 1:30 to finish it up. So now my arm hurts more than the rest of my body. Weird how that works.
So, funny story. After I crashed, there was a guy that gave me a ride back to the shop. It was really nice of him. But when he dropped me off he didn't get all my stuff out of his car. My gloves, hat, and my camera. I was hoping he would mail it to me, since he knew the name of the shop. But no luck there. I went and got a new camera day. Nikon 210. It takes nice pictures and its super small.

Recovery (Day 5)

I got back on the bike today for an hour. It felt pretty good my hip flexor is really sore still. The ribs are feeling better day by day. They really don't hurt on the bike. Each day I get alittle more motion back. Still little pains off and on. But feeling alittle better each day. I've been hot tubing it and iceing alot. I going to try to ride the trainer again tommorow. So, I have 3 weeks before my race in Bisbee, Arizona. Hopefully, I will back to form by then.
It just snowed about a foot in the last couple of days. So I can't ride outside. That makes feel alittle better about being injuryed. I'll give a update in acouple of days.

Falling Rocks !!!

That's right. Well, here's a good story. So Bill, Adam ,and I rode out the Arm for a recovery ride. We had a nice tale wind heading back in town. We were riding in a pace line; Adam, myself, then Bill. I heard Adam yell and then all of a sudden I got smacked by a dozen rocks to the right side of me. Bill rode out of it, but I got the worse of it. So this big ass rock slid down from above, hit the road and exploded. When the rocks hit my front wheel, I went flying over my handlebars. I hit my head twice and landed on my hip and my upper rib cage. We were going about 30mph when I hit the pavement. I remember laying on the ground and seeing rocks all over the place in the road. I was hurt pretty bad. I finally got up and headed to the other side of the road and the fell down again because my hip was killing me. A guy sitting in his car gave me a ride back to the shop. Adam and I headed to the ER expecting the worse. Adam got a x-ray on his arm. No break, and he's still growing (birth plates). I went in for x-rays on pelvis and ribs. No breaks. They said I would be really sore for the next couple of days. I'm really sore today all over. You name it, it hurts. I think I'll try to ride a little at the end of week. So, what a freak accident. But it could have been worse. Alot worse.
