B2B HIM w/ broken wing

You could shave a good 15 min. off of that time if you work on reducing your own shoulder!

Was that you with the yellow shirt tied up in a sling? Way to push through!

I crashed in a HIM back in June but it doesn't sound as severe as yours. That'll make a great story!

Wow. That's impressive.

(I can't imagine how you were able to ride on with a broken clavicle though. That's a seriously painful injury.)

Hey,

nice job in finishing up.  I can't believe you dislocated the shoulder AND broke the collar bone and still toughed it out- unbelievable.

I met you Sunday morning at the breakfast at Blockade Runner, that was cool.  I have dislocated my shoulder about a dozen times, and it is PAINFUL.  Way to go man, again- unbelievable in finishing.

Congrats, and speedy recovery.

Yeah but I bet a dislocated shoulder is more aero when it is hanging against your chest instead of blocking wind.  Lets just call it a push.

yea.  Some vols made a shoulder immobilizer out of a couple of long sleeve t-shirts.  So am I technically DQ'd for taking outside assistance ;o)  ?

Awesome job.  I saw you running when I was on the trolley heading back to the car.  Everyone on the trolley unanimously voted you a BAMF.  Well done.

Wow! You are a BAMF!  Hope you are resting well now and heal fast.

x2. Absolutely amazing. Congratulations!!!

 Kudos to you. Awesome. I was watching on water street just before you turned left up the steep hill of Ann St. Saw you going out and my 1st thought was ow bike wreck and then I thought way to HTFU. I was still there when you were headed back in (so about 3mi to go) I was rather impressed and you even had a happy demeanor and thanked me when I offered some encouragement. Not only a hard core mofo but evidently a class act as well.

 Congrats.

Thanks qrkid.

It only really hurt bad when I moved

wow, great mental and physical toughness. only thing i can picture is Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon getting out of the straight jacket.

How do you talk people through putting your shoulder back in place? are you familiar with this?

I'm a nurse practitioner in a hospital ER so Ive reduced a few dislocations.  I don't advise banging it against a wall like Mel does though.  It's more of a steady pull and gentle rotation with a good deal of screaming involved
