Crash!

This weekend's adventure took us to the Olympic peninsula. On Saturday we tooled around the shops at Port Townsend and then drove up to Hurricane Ridge.

Today I had a cross race at Ft. Flagler. I toggled between 2nd and 3rd place on the first 3 laps. I was feeling OK so I decided to rideone of the run-ups. Everything was great until I reached the top and them BAM! the bike goes out from underneath me and I'm laying on my side. Although a bit dazed (what just happened!?) I made a sweet recovery and got back on the bike. My left knee hurt but I attempted to ride it off. No good. About 300m down the course I could only pedal with my right leg so I decided to pull out. It was my first(and hopefully last)DNF of the year and it sucked! I hope this heals soon because next weekend is the state championship race.
