Stuff happens! Sorry to hear of your bumpin' the pavement! Reminds me
of starting to slide out in a tight curve in the Crockett-Martinez RR in
N Cal...I really didn't want to go down, and instinctively steered the
direction I was sliding, overdoing it so that it was worse: I went over
the top onto my face. Ouch! Counter-steering is something you don't
get to practice much, and I think it's very easy to overdo. I found
that true in my van on ice one time, too.

And also an apology to those who went down and/or couldn't finish their race. I hit a hole while getting a drink which caused me to run into the guy on my left. I thought we were going to be OK but something must have got tangled up 'cause the next thing I knew my face hit the pavement. I lost one tooth and several are loose, took about 20 stitches in my lips, but luckily no other injuries to speak of.
