So I'm 6 days away from heading down to South Carolina to do my first (and last) tri of the season; getting all my gear ready, making hotel reservations and just getting psyched in generall...

Well, last night I was driving my Jeep Liberty about 300 ft from my apartment and went to stop at a red light.  Now, for all of you that aren't from Jersey, stopping at red lights is an accepted practice so I try to do it whenever the event arises.  Well....apparently the lady behind me didn't think that this law applied to her and she plowed right into the back of me! Which in turn pushed me about 10 ft into the car infront of me.  AHHHHH!!!!  I'm fine which is the most important thing but my jepp is NOT.

On top of that she reaked of alcohol and the cops did NOTHING about it.  I am so hopping mad (yup I said hopping) and I just had to vent.  I finally convinced my insurance company that it wasn;t my fault because I can't pick up the accident report until monday morning and I need to get back and forth to work.  Sooooo.....I hopefully am still going to SC on thursday but I'm not sure.  The soreness is setting in and my mood is just sh#@y.  I'm hoping everything works out.  But...just wanted to vent.  Thanks for listening.

Sorry to hear about your crash. I hate inattentive drivers, drunk or sober. Hope it all works out for you and you can still do your tri.

Huge Hugs Shauna! ICE!!! If you know a good chiro, I'd get checked out. But ICE ICE and more ICE. At least 10 to 15 minutes every hour.

Been there done that, got the t-shirt (3x + 1)... it's a huge sucky crap fest. Cops have a tendency to be idiots when it come to some things. The last 2 folks who rear ended me DID NOT get tickets...one because "his foot slipped off the clutch" uh huh, sure... and the other because... they didn't give a sh*t... :D (I was a passenger in a car stopped at...go figure... a stop sign!).

The ice will help immensly. Good luck in your tri...
