I'm SO glad you are ok. <br /><br />I don't get the people that won't wear helmets, I see them all the time and think they are just being stupid. I have seen the aftermath when my swim coach was killed in a bike accident and she had a helmet on, why on earth wouldn't you wear one. <br /><br />I'm glad you are ok (I know I already said that but it needs saying again).adenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10262821333252088168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577879543257460285.post-21461678974529438592011-08-29T18:05:14.338-04:002011-08-29T18:05:14.338-04:00I’m sorry to hear you crashed but glad that everyo...I’m sorry to hear you crashed but glad that everyone seems to be ok!

I crashed in 2006 on my first ever triathlon in the rain on a curve - screwed up my rotator cuff for a year. So now here's to having our dues paid and no more crashes, right? <br /><br />I have no worries you will be back on that saddle in now time.

It's funny. I...So glad to hear you're ok.<br /><br />It's funny. I volunteered at a kids triathlon this morning and got to chatting with one kid's father who is an Ironman. He had wiped out at 50mph up on the Lake Placid course with his family driving behind him. He went to the ER and was alright, but one of his sons is scared to ride a bike because of it.<br /><br />I know you'll be back on the bike in no time and the whole thing will be a story to tell, but I do agree with the EMT's words of wisdom. And thank GOD for common sense amongst athletes for wearing a helmet!<br /><br />Hope the recovery goes quickly for all involved!!Kurt @ Becoming An Ironmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865313303891773591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577879543257460285.post-66563404087710896822011-08-27T17:05:16.215-04:002011-08-27T17:05:16.215-04:00So glad everyone is OK.
