So.. this weekend was AT&T crit in Austin. Went from San Antonio to Austin Friday, ate with the team and headed to the hotel. Saturday morning we rode a bit, and I got to try out my new, awesome purple shoes! We raced at 6:50pm. I was excited to race, that soon ended in about the 30th minute, coming around turn 4. Coming around the corner, seeing a girl go down, and having no where to go. i was headed straight for her, my only option in my head was to bunny hop her. Which I think I did successfully, this is when everything becomes blurry. I think I must have hit the curb on the way down and flew into the metal barriers and slammed my face into the pavement. Well that's what I assumed happen, with my swollen face and sore right side of my head. So the outcome of it all was a new bloody white kit, cracked helmet, black eye, cut under my eye, broken collar bone, road rash here and there, and a few swollen spots. But the good news is my bike is already all set up on the trainer with an awesome new stem, I am now just a townie cruiser. I'll let yall know when I can get back out on the road. TTFN.

I was reading Liz Hatch's (VanderKitten team) blog and she mentions seeing a girl from Metro going down in that crash and later hearing the collarbone was broken. She wrote that she hoped you were okay.
Welcome to the club...now you're a REAL racer. If you don't break something at some point in your racing career then you weren't going hard enough (I've busted a couple of ribs and cracked a pelvis...still racing...yep, gotta love it). Get well soon!!
