but who is counting? Plus, there are some steps that I didn't get credit for because the battery was dying. This ped thing seems dumb, but I think it will help motivate me not to nap.

This accident was a big bummer, but it has made me realize how much I have to be thankful for. I'm lucky that the injuries will heal in time. My cracked helmet was new and strong and prevented a head injury. My mobility is progressing each day.

But most of all, so many people have come to help out Nurse Enid and me and many have offered their help. This has been very appreciated by us. I am not one to really ask for help or reach out when it's needed just because I am self conscious about it. But we haven't had to ask, the offers are just there, and we have needed it.

Sabine and Donna made me feel less scared as I was lying on the track for those long minutes. Pete came and fed the cat braving Minnie's messes.

All the cool friends who offered well wishes and who offered to drop by if we needed stuff. Sabine, Donna, and Harvey dropped by and kept us company. The super great Bella Beams from the Velo Bella team. Michael and his very touching post. Beth for the super cool photo that will remind me of the good parts of this racing season. Maria, Cindy, and Renee who brought us food. The thoughtful emails from some of the riders in our race. And, Ali for trying to get me addicted to the Ici ice cream again.

And of course my lovely wife life partner Nurse Enid. I love you and all that you do for me. I cannot imagine how this event would have been without you by my side. Yes, bed pan and all.

Thank you all so much for everything.
