I want to thank from the bottom of my heart the folks who voluteered to
work the medical crew of the Aspenrose cross race. I was the master racer
who went down hard on the first lap and had to catch a ride out in an
ambulance. Ryan, I think was the guy who spent the most time with me and
he confirmed his diagnosis (guess) with a blond woman doctor (name
forgotten) who had a nice young son named Daniel who kept me company while
the ambulance was called. They we great. I'm sure you're all wondering
how it all came out. Drum roll please. It was a broken hip. More
precisely a complete separation at the femoral neck. (Mike Murray, maybe
you could help here) Broke the darn thing off and it had to be reinstalled
with titanium screws. Will I be faster and lighter now?
I sure would have liked to have gotten in more than half a lap of the first
race of the cross season but oh well...
Now I'll have more time to devote to the district championship cross race
down here in Eugene at
King Estate Winery. It's going to be a great course in a European like
setting with wine tasting (after your races only folks, we don't want any
more broken bones) and winery tours for spectators if the racing becomes
overwhelming. I'm bummed that I won't be able to race it but I've ridden a
few laps already so I'll have to be content with that. Anyway, I'll see
you all on December 2nd in Eugene. I hope I won't be the guy still limping.
