This morning was supposed to have been just a long prep ride for New Orleans 70.3 next week. I'm not preparing to crash next week, but it happened and it happened out of nowhere fast. I was riding along starting get into my ride a little more when I hit a little bump, my elbows slid of my elbow pads and there I went straight out into superman mode onto the road. My bike flew over me across someones driveway barely missing there parked car and into their front yard. I could see my bike in the air as I was crashing onto the road.
A couple of years ago I crashed on the Trinity Trail in Fort Worth a week before the Kemah Triathlon fracturing my ulna. I can say this time I walked away relatively easy given the crash. I did collect some road rash and holes in some of my new bike clothes. However, after all of this race goes on. I got back up on my bike in the new positioning that I created for myself and road back to the house to finish up on my road bike (on the trainer) after Nurse Calley put hydrogen peroxide on my battle wounds.

As the day wore I on, I found myself becoming more sore. Tomorrow should be fun.
