A guy crashed into me in a sharp corner and then landed on top of my ankle. Slight sprain and achilles tendinitis- but should be good for Marty Cross!
Weak tea in comparison, but two tubes and a chain at Iron CX. Also, didn't close my saddle bag after the first flat fix, so the multi-tool and some CO2's went into the great beyond. And my dignity.

Imprint of a shimano brake lever and shifter on my right leg after stuffing the front wheel in a LEAF hidden hole @ sourlands "dish plate" trail.
Didn't notice until I took a shower good thing for elbow pads, landed with the right elbow on a rock. Shoulder took a hit elbow all good.

Broken parts from the weekend include a flat rear tubular, and a possibly* destroyed derailleur/shifter. Whatever happened, I haven't been able to bring myself to actually check whats wrong with it, all I know is that I rode Sunday as an accidental single speed!

After I ate shit in the sand pit my shifter was toast. I had to stop to get all the granules out in order to salvage some shifting... I could shift up but the spring wouldn't reset to dump the gear so I had to pull the lever to shift down. Hopefully it's just something stupid like that.

Seems like that might be part of it. There's going to be a lot of smacking/shaking to try and free that thing up.

I have a saddle bag kit of stuff at the bottom of the pond at Rothrock Trail Mix. If you say you haven't left a zipper open and lost stuff you're probably a liar!
Just glad I didn't put my car keys in there, too.
Few years ago I was on a ride and someone calls out at a regrouping asking if anyone lost their keys. I was hardly paying attention as my keys were safely tucked away in my bag. I looked anyway and my bag was clearly zipped up and closed. Big problem was the stitching came apart and the whole back of the bag opened up.
The only thing (luckily) found on the trail was my keys which I'm OK with.

Flatted my front tubular on Saturday at Whirlybird CX. I think it had a slow leak since pre-rides because it was feeling a little strange, but I put 40 psi in and it seemed to hold for an hour before the race so I wrote the "weird" feelings off. in hindsight I should have borrowed a wheel. I got two laps in hanging on to the lead group and it just totally let go. so being without pit wheels I walked to the pit slowly just to let the officials know I was dropping out. However, to my surprise, Evan Murphy was standing in the pit heckling me. he didn't want me to DNF so he lent me his bike and I was able to finish the race! it was a great experience, and he is my new favorite pro!

You bring new meaning to the term SUCK
I tore both legs off my body yesterday.
On an absolutely totally unrelated note, I destroyed several stakes at the cross venue yesterday, 1 that was possibly yellow and coming out of the first S at the bottom of the opening downhill. Maybe.

Probably gives you lots of energy. Hope you don't crash as you taper.

THE MYTHICAL YELLOW STAKE. I'm pretty sure there was only one, and honestly you should have won a prize just for finding it with your front wheel!
