11mph to zero in yesterday’s cross race. Downhill 90* into a ditch. Rode clean four times then had the front wheel too far left 4” and a jackknifed bike followed by a sudden stop. Right shoulder and front right side of the helmet took the impact.
Broke the MIPS connectors inside the helmet, cracked the EPS. Got up, banged the left shifter back in place, remounted, and finished without losing a place.
Sore today, bruised shoulder and thumb, no headache, no head bruises or marks where the helmet protected. |
