Ride: Rest Day
Resting Heartrate:
Comments: Sundays 'cross race in Edwardsville was a challenge. When I first arrived and did a few warm-up laps everything was good because it was still cool. As the day warmed up and bikes continually went over the same spots the course got continuously slicker. Naturally, this was course with lots a good amount of twisty trail. I was fishtailing alot for the last half of the race. Finally, my luck caught up to me on the last lap and while going down a steep downhill my front tire hit either a tree root or just slipped on the mud. I steered wildly 3 or 4 times in an effort to stay upright. Somehow it worked but not without some bodily damage. My right foot unclipped and my knee jammed into the handlebar. After the race the left side of my chest, right by the heart, started to have some pain whenever I moved the wrong way. Kind of scary but I am sure that I bruised something inside or pulled a muscle. Today it still bothers me and my guess is it will take several days to heal.
