Ottos Concussion

I remember most of the race, who passed, what happened clear as day. Then I remember crashing in the weeds. I slightly remember pulling myself out of them. The next thing I can recall is sitting on my hatch, without my jersey on watching the second race stage and seeing Ben on a mountain bike. Everything from that point on I can slightly remember, but not vivid details. I remember talking to everyone, and about what and who, but I would suddenly come back around and be like “What did I just say? What was we just talking about?” I finally started to remember details vividly by the time Bill left after he dropped me off.

From the details I can confirm from technology, I was going 17MPH when I wrecked, I hit the lap button before I crossed the creek.

I just went to look at my helmet and this was the only marks I could find on it… not a bruise on my body; just minor scratches from the weeds that look like they have poison ivy in them

Not sure how such a big impact can do such damage without any real marks anywhere. No riding for me today. I think I was at ease and not scared because I knew I was in a good place with good people. Thanks again guys and gals.

And Lou won the fashion competition as well as the battle of the bulge.

Just went through my iPhone photos to see if I need to catch up on anything, but it looks like much hasn’t happened since vacation in Welfleet; I’ve ridden everyday except one since July 29th gearing up for cross. Really falling in love with the Ridley I bought from Glenn.

Mandi has been doing an awesome job with the laundry and always providing me with clean cycling clothes.

I’ve ridden my mountain bike once since KVSP. Thankfully it was local with Mitch, Schilling, Woody and Iggy at CR. You cannot take that much time off from mountain biking, your skills will suck. Took a good 45 minutes to gather them back. Or your cross turning skills just take over :hmmm:

Wedding stuff is in full tilt. I think it’s 10 days now? Crap. Looking forward to trying to not dance the whole time since I hate dancing. And the cruise the following week.
