Sidelined by the Head

It was all planned. The bikes were lubed and prepped. The water bottles were filled and the gels in the pockets. The weather was cooperating and then, BAM! Colin's excitement got the best of him as he decided to see who would win between his head and "the white thing by the window." The "white thing", the window sill, won causing a nice gash that required two stitches. Cassie and Christine were at "water pillow" so the ride was delayed by several hours so we could go to the emergency room.

After returning from the emergency room, we figured we had a few hours to ride still so we took off. Now the rain is coming down pretty good (we are soaked in a matter of minutes) but I am determined to get in at least 50. About a mile into it I flat. I stop, get off the bike, and start to change the flat. My dad says I'll go get Mom to come get you. As he rides away, I stop and in a moment of realization in the rain standing on the side of the road, ask myself "isn't that two strikes?" Time to do what I need to do and get to the "water pillow" tournament. That is exactly what we did after got changed and ran an errand.

Time to start a new this week. Got in 22 last night - called it good tonight due to the flu but will be back on it to get my April century in this weekend.
