You did get an awesome spot by the bathrooms though.
Last year in my first race ever ... broken chain
This year ... broken collar bone
I need to say thank you to Ellen (Pixy) and Michael (not sure who he was) for helping me and staying with me on the +2 mile walk out. And sorry to the Pro's and Experts for holding up their race while I was walking out 🙂
That is a real bummer x-tina. How long will you be out for?

To say I'll be back soon is an understatement,
Christina ... 🙂
Oh, Christina, I am so bummed for you! I was really worried since you hadn't posted here last night / this morning, and since I saw your b/f with two bikes, it couldn't be good. I'm glad you were able to walk away, and I expect to see you cheering at future races!

Oh, and most importantly, I forgot to ask: Is the bike ok? 🙂
I was the first to come up on you Christina as i was trying to make my way up from the back of the entire sport class. I hope i was some help making sure you didn't pass out before more people showed up. Get well soon!!!
My race was screwed from the start. Coming to the start line my chain started skipping. I did an adjustment and thought i was good but up the fiest doubletrack climb my chain snaps. I get it fixed in a respectable time only 2 other groups pass me before I remount, but barely a half mile later it snaps again! As i'm fixing it again (now less 2 links) I cheer on the rest of the men, juniors, & females as they pass. Once again I remount and decide, screw it i'm gonna finish this prolouge and the rest of the race. I start to catch the women after a bit when I come across FallGirl on the ground. She actually told me to keep on riding! OMG! My concience would never let me though. when i knew she was in good hands I went on my way and enjoyed the course, then on a downhill sweeper I hit a root too fast & too wrong and I slammed the ground pretty good. Lucky for me my head broke my fall!!! I got right up though (bike was ok, that's good) helmet was covered in dirt, roc loc broke on it though so i finished the lap with a wobbly helmet and the lead riders lapping me. :mad2: That's racing. My first DNF & DFL!!!:getsome:
At least i got to see fred taco his wheel after he passed me!!!

I went both knees into a patch in the new ST after the prologue :mad2:. My body is slow to respond to exposure, so I expect the blistering to be in full force right in time for KVSP. If it gets real bad, a course of prednisone wipes it out real fast.Christina, so sorry about the break but glad to hear your spirits are up.
You'll be back scaring us all in no time.
Yesterday, while recapping the race(my crash) with friends, Chris' eyes grew wide and he said "You didn't go off the trail did you!!?? Stewart is the poison ivy capitol of the world!!" 😱
That little itch on my arm yesterday grew into today's big mean angry patches all over. And they're just waiting to burst. I'm off to find the industrial size bottle of poison ivy cure.
It's just a little something to remember Stewart by...
