Well it has been a solid day for sure, went into today's race in Boulder with a real solid week of training under my belt, and high hopes to do well. Had a fair sized field today and the course was way fun, with lots of turns, very technical, lots of fun stuff. My first lap went really well in the main group for the most part. Then when I'm making a turn onto the dirt part of the course from the asphalt and I stack it up in the dirt, pretty hard to I might add. I look down and see my left leg is mess. I almost got back on the bike and kept going but it just wasn't happening today. I found the medical tent and they patched me up as best they could. The first aid guy said I needed to go to the hospital and get stitches for the top of my leg. So I drove home to Littleton, and spent the rest of the afternoon in the ER. I don't have any pics from the accident, but I do have what I looked like when I got home from the hospital.
13 stitches later I'm good as new
It looked a lot cooler when it had all of my flesh showing,
Scotty Boy can vouch for it.
The shin actually looks worse than the other cut, but its not.
Anyway its been a crappy day and I'm gonna get some sleep. I wish I could race tomorrow but I don't want to end up like
this guy, who rode his bike with stitches, thanks for reading.

I am soooo glad you didn't get hurt any worse, Mr. Evan! (But why did you have to show me that other guy's MESSY injury?!!)
See you soon...we'll be there in 2 weeks!
