Not a bad place for a starting line, eh?
Possibly the main thing we learned from this race was that I am completely incapable of taking pictures at the precise time when Scott is riding by.
See Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
Exhibit C:
And then there is this one, which I snapped on the lap right before there was a GIGANTIC BIKE CRASH RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES INVOLVING SCOTT.
Scott isn't quite sure what happened, but the two guys right in front of him went down, and he was too close to avoid them and got caught up in their crash. All in all, there ended up being 10 or 12 guys involved! UGH. I don't like crashes, and I especially don't like witnessing crashes involving my husband! (A broken collarbone would be about the worst thing right now for somebody trying to finish up clinic work to graduate from dental school in 2 months!) In the end, Scott got away with just some crooked handlebars, but he didn't get to finish the race, which was disappointing. However, he also has these awesome battle scars! (I am sparing you what the actual wounds look like under that sleeve...not pretty).But this story has a happy ending: Though Saturday's bike race didn't go the way he had hoped, Scott totally redeemed Saturday's crash-out during Sunday's race, where he placed 9th out of 43 in his division! So proud!
Eek! Glad Scott's OK!
