Well as many know already (and its actually quite amazing how fast everyone heard about this) I had a really bad crash this last Sunday! I was up doing Cecil Linders race up at Paris Mountain on Sunday and the race was pretty well packed! The track was actually quite fun with tight little tree sections and small tight rock sections with a few good pedaling parts out of corners…. was fun!
My first run was good and I had a very good time putting me in first place with a 1:49.
My second run was mainly for fun but of course I’m always looking to get an even faster time and I believe I was on my way to at least a 1:46 until my rear end swapped out from something and within a blink of an eye I had plowed my shoulder into a large tree going about 30mph…. I’m sure the tree was like… ” What was that…???” as its top branches may have moved less than an inch…
To give you a good idea of how bad it was I was in a flat out sprint in my 4th gear and stopped dead on my shoulder and where I lay on the ground my feet were up on the same tree.
I knew I was pretty buggered as I couldn’t breath and my whole shoulder was completely numb and I was still trying to figure out what had just happened? I lay down on the ground for about 10 minutes. The pain was probably the worst I have had to endure…
Amazingly after 3 hours in the hospital I found that I had a Seperated AC… which is pretty bad but it could have been worst!… the best part of the day is that I still had won the race!… Thanks to everyone who helped me up… I should be fine I think mainly just all my muscles are sore so I should be fine!
Cheers
