I'm Fond of Skin...

...and therefore unhappy when I lose it. I don't like to do race summaries but sometimes they're warrented. So without further ado, a race recap:Feeling good.Feeling good.Feeling good.Team is riding really well.Feeling good.Feeling good.Feeling good.Make it over Paris Mountain the first 3 times.Peloton slowly disintigrating.Feeling good.Feeling good.Feeling good.Make it over Paris Mountain a few seconds behind the very front groupFeeling good on descent.Quickly catch peloton as we're about to start finishing laps.Feeling good.Peloton is now just 25 guys.Feeling good.Feeling good.Feeling really good.Motivated.See George, VdV, and McCarty attackJump to follow attack.Feeling good.Surprised to see a rider punch through a gap suitable for a mouse or other small rodent between me and the curb.See said rider sweep our my front wheel causing me to hit the pavement at 40mph.Not feeling so good.Race over.It's now two days after US Pro. I spent 30 minutes last night in the shower with about 4 of those minutes actually getting wet. The other 26 were spent cowardly and painfully avoiding the water which felt more like a hot iron on my wounds than actual H2O. That was followed by 30 more minutes applying bandages to the right side of my body, including my entire right butt cheek. Think about it... or don't. It's miserable. But better than broken bones.
