Injury update and progress
I’ve been making great progress on my recovery this week. As you can see from the videos below, I am able to ride short distances with one arm. I’ve included a bunch of photos if you click the “Read more…” link if you are viewing this on my blog home page. If you are viewing it on the direct link to the post, then you should already see all the photos below. Some might be kinda gross so you are forewarned!
Sandy Springs crash, videos, and race report
Summary – racing well, but missed break which lapped the field. I was working hard to stay at the front with 2 laps to go when my front wheel started to slide out on the fast downhill turn #3. I straightened up to stop the slideout, but that meant that I wasn’t going to be able to finish making the turn at 32+ mph. I ended up slamming into the barriers shoulder first at 32.3 mph according to my iBike. Here’s the same explanation in video form at the hospital:
I am incredibly sore on both sides and the back of my neck. Here is a picture showing the bruising and swelling around my neck and where the helmet straps cut into the skin. Same thing on the other side of my neck. Ouch.

Videos from Dilworth and Spartanburg
I wrote up my race reports from Dilworth and from Spartanburg. Here are the missing videos taken by my lovely wife:
Dilworth USA Crits power/heartrate data and quick report
Tough race today. Still not feeling 100% but happy to survive with no cramps and wrist not as sore as the night before. I started midpack and then stayed there for most of the race, drifting towards the back all too often and then fighting my way back towards the front. The key feature of the course was a tight greater than 90 degree turn at the bottom of the hill to take you back up to the start/finish line near the top of the hill. This is the source of all the power spikes in the data — accelerating out of the corner and up the hill. Kristine got some great video, and I will have those uploaded by the morning. Here’s a video of the finishing sprint:

Spartanburg power/heartrate data and quick race report
Fun, fast course last night in downtown Spartanburg, SC. This was the fifth of seven races of the USA Crits Speedweek. Very smooth race on a short four corner course. The start/finish stretch had a short section of brick cobblestones and a few manhole covers. This was the only part of the course that was rough. Everything else was super smooth, and we flew through 70 laps in 1 hour 15 minutes for an average lap time of just over 1 minute.
I started mid-pack and worked my way towards the front, but got swarmed in turn 3 a couple times and found myself back in mid-pack. Then with about 15 laps to go, UHC and Kenda started to set up the lead-out trains for their sprinters. I was still able to move up and passed people as they came off the front or sat up. By the end, I was able to finish 44th. I was happy to finish because I wasn’t sure if my sore leg was going to cramp up and how my wrist would hold up. Both were fine, and I was happy to get some finishing points for the series.
With no crashes, flat tires, or broken spokes, I was able to record power data on my iBike for the entire race.
