well an intresting club run for me, from what i remember of it
just paul marek and myself for the training group. marek was going strong and so was paul. i was feeling good today, but ive had a heavy week, and i DID have another heavy few days planned so i took it fairly easy, not doing much work on the front. paul and marek must have thought i was not feeling good today as they kept attacking whenever i got on the front. i was going to tell them i was fine, but i was rather enjoying it, and i knew it would wear them down for the sprint- that is if i ever made it !
my memory is still a bit hazy about what happened, but i remember my wheels slipping out, and then sitting on the grass with an aching face and head. i didnt mind about the crash but then worryingly i didnt have a clue where i was. i knew i should know, but i just couldnt work it out. then i tried to think back to the ride but i could hardly remember any of it, it seemed like i had done it all drunk or dreamed it. also a bit worringly my vision was a bit blury. after a while the 19s came along and i think ray crashed in the same place i did.
pretty soon the ambulance came, but i dont remember much of the journey, when they asked me what month it was i was clueless i still felt drunk! got to hospital and i started to get my senses back, and my pupils started to react again. got strapped up to all the machinery for monitering, and my heart rate was at a chushtie 39 . they were going to keep me in over night. after 3 hours i couldnt take it any more and i asked the doctor if i could go home, as my mum was a a nurse and could look after me. he would only let me go if i could pass a few tests, which i did just about.
so now im at home with a couple of days of RR in store...great
my memory is coming back slowly of the ride, but looking back its still like trying to remember a drunk night on the town, but this time my headache is 10x worse.
how was ray in the end, and were our bikes damaged?
cheers for the help guys.
