I crashed for the second time in a year. Luckily, my bike and I came out of it in relatively good shape. I was carrying some momentum coming off a hill, probably going 20-22 mph in Terry Hershey, and a fat ass rabbit ran right out in front of me. I didn’t even have time to hit the brakes before I was de-biked. My helmet is trash and I got some road rash but all else is fine.

Addendum: We all know this but you really have to wear a helmet. My head hit the ground pretty hard and I would not be in good shape if the dents in my helmet were instead in my head.

The helmet company will most likely give you another helmet for free or discounted if it is cracked fyi. Glad you are safe.

Glad you made it mostly unscathed.

I’m in between races right now and not ready to start a prep. I’ve subbed all my swimming for weights, kept up 2 or 3 bikes per week and at least two runs per week (longer one on the weekends).

It’s just so damn hot and humid outside. I hate the summer.
