Subject: RE: Rip van Winkle Duathlon : Official ThreadI believe that last race (Tri) was during a tropical depression, therefore the roads were probable slick. Both of the RIP's I did last were under wet conditions. On the second one i had a hard crash going about 21mph and my best friend broke his femur in a seperate incident. We had originally signed up to do San Destin tri that week, but when it got cancelled we decided to head to New Iberia. Both accidents were kinda freak things and if you can believe it, happened when we were both trying to be extra careful. It took me 2 months to get the courage to get back on my bike and my buddy hasn't been on his since (off of the trainer that is). We joke with him all the time telling he he has the most expensive trainer in the country. (cervelo P3) In time i'll go back to where it happened, but right now, it is kinda a superstitous thing. I have no ill words for the race, its volunteers, other racers or location...just not ready to head back yet. |
