Thanks for the encouragement in the racing I've started doing Kinnie. The olympic tri is at the end of July. I think my work schedule is going to interfere with it. But I am planning to work up to a half marathon by Nov. So any info you could send I would appreciate it.

I've got much to be thankful for today. Mostly, I thank God for sending me the angels. I'm doing well (which is more than I can say for my bike that is in 3 pieces). My back is very sore, my face is very ugly and I'm walking a little funny. Other than that I'm great. I was very fortunate that the car that turned in front of my was a convertible. That gave me a clear vault. I hit on the back half of the car and went over. Too bad I couldn't slap the driver in the head as I went by. :) I really don't remember much between impact with the car and impact with the asphalt. Lots of nice people stopped to help. The driver stopped and was very apologetic. A nurse was in a nearby store and came out to help. The only immediate pain I felt was in my back. I was conscious at all times. I asked her tons of questions assessing my body since I couldn't sit up. How are my legs? Any gashes or bad scrapes? etc. The worst scrapes are on my face. Ughhh. Someone immediately asked if I was O.K. I think it's probably one of the first times I've had to tell a stranger "No" to that question. Ambulance came, got the collar treatment (although it wouldn't fit right because my jaw was swelling so bad at that point). When they were getting ready to lift me by that very hard board onto the stretcher, I told them to be careful because I was very heavy. Nick, the officer told my husband it would be about 6 days before the report was complete. He said he was not clear as to whether the car hit me or I hit the car. Ha! Implying that fault was in question. I may need you after-all. Thanks again for the well wishes. I'll be cheering from the sidelines for the BSG riders next weekend! Guess I need to start shopping for a new bike. Be safe, kp -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CyclistsOfWilson-COWs" group.
