Subject: Attacked by Pizza!
I was about 25 miles into a 31 miler today, riding up a hill and had by head down climbing along. All of the sudden, a PIZZA BOX goes whiz zing right in front of the bike! I was able to lock up the brakes and avoid getting hit. Someone must have put the pizza on the roof of the car as I was only about 1/2 a mile from Stonington Pizza Palace!

No harm, just that's about the weirdest obstacle I've ever encountered.

Wow!! Glad you are okay. Sounds like you didn't stop to eat any of the pizza...I totally would have checked out what kind was in the box, and likely I would have had a slice or two. How often does pizza fall from the sky like that? Gift from the gods, man...gift from the gods...

Oh, I see now. I figured stopping to get a slice was why you threw on the brakes. Silly me, you didn't want to hit the box.

I'm going to go on the record and say that I probably would have taken a peek in the box. I'm not one to throw away food, ESPECIALLY pizza.

You might think of it as a gift from the triathlon gods!

When my daughter was a baby, I walked into her room, stepped on a satiny blanket lying on the floor, which slid out from under me and I hurt my foot in the fall. My medical record still contains the phrase "slipped on a blanket."

I was attacked by a milkshake once, but it was intentionally thrown out of a car moving 60mph.

It was strawberry.

I think the 5 second rule definitely applies, and you might even have some wiggle room if you had to come to a complete stop first.

Oh, come on -- if it's still in the box it never actually touches the ground! =D
