I thought it was bad that I crashed, but then I got shot in the foot.

Well, today what the curcuit race for Tour of New Braunfels. Good course and nice weather. Than I had my first road crash. Was just right behind the two girls who went down, no way of getting around it. Just slid a few few and whip my head and back down to the ground. Got up, shook out the stars, figured out which bike was mine, got on my bike, realized my chain was off when I couldn't go anywhere, fixed my chain,  and bent my derailleur(thats how austin said it was spelled) hanger back in "place" and spend off.. Did not think I could catch back on, but I DID! with about 3 laps to go. It finished in a sprint and I got second, by a half of bike length. awww... so maybe I will win tomorrow!  I'll let you know. And so when I thought no one read our blogs, a girl in the race today told me she liked my blog.... WOW! how exciting..

Excellent way to battle back after your crash. That was very impressive to watch the effort to pull a second off. You looked very comfortable out there.
