You are too funny!!!!  With all your posts and with a fairly unique name, I look forward to the notes over the next few days as to why I am going to eat worms...  You are such a dear, I hope I get to meet the queen of posts and humor someday... Emerson

Hey guys...I'm still alive. One last day at the beach before we head home.  It's been great to get away but the real world is calling me back.  I haven't written my race report from last weekend...but I'll give you the highlights.  Hit by a car and still beat last year's time by more than 12 mins.  I was cruising along about mile 11 out of 28, climbing a hill at about 17-18 when a pickup passed me on the left.  He suddenly slammed on the brakes and made a right turn across my lane onto a side street.  I locked up the brakes and slid about 15-20 feet.  The rear of the bike rotated left so I was at about a 30 degree angle to the truck when I finally hit the rear quarter panel. It spun me around and I somehow got my left foot out.  I apparently dragged it thru the whole 360 which burned off a lot of my momentum. I ended up laying flat on my back. Picked myself up...shook everything to make sure it worked, looked over the bike right quick, yelled at the drive who had stopped and run over to me by then, and then took off racing again.  Rode like an absolute maniac for the next 18 miles, people must have thought I was nuts.   I think I cussed for 18 miles straight and every time I would slow down, I'd just think about getting hit by that truck again.   I was trying to rip people's legs off on the climbs.  Check out the profile on my log for last Saturday.  Even with the 2-3 mins I lost, I was still 5 mins or so faster than last year's bike and 12+ mins overall faster.  I had hoped to finish about 8th Clyde, ended up 4th and might have even had 3rd without my close encounter with the Chevy product.  Bike and I both appear fine although my left knee has been kind of tender this week, must have been from dragging that foot. My tri shoes are trashed.  I wore two holes in the inside of the left foot from the pavement. The crazy thing is that I don't have a mark on me.  I even wore a hole in my sock but nothing on my foot.

I hope everyone is having a great week. I'll be back on Saturday, but probably around more on Sunday.
