I've had many questions regarding my DNF yesterday so I thought I would send a quick update before we drive off.
I had a really rough swim and was just not having a great day. Coming into a WC smashed just doesn't fly anymore! (Not that I have ever done that before.) My legs were so sore and tired on the bike that I almost got dropped from the pack! I decided I didn't want to get dropped so I tried to catch up on the corner, the same corner that 5 girls had just gone down on in the previous lap. It was pouring rain and there was a crosswalk on the turn with slippery paint and my wheels just came right out from under me! Apparently I crashed hard. It felt like slow motion to me. I felt like I was sliding forever thinking "oooh I'm going to have a lot of cuts to get rid of before Sydney." I hit my head pretty good and broke my new RedBull helmet! :( I also hit my arm really hard and was worried about a break but it just swelled so much that it pinched a nerve so my hand was just numb from that. I consider myself lucky! In hindsight this may be a good thing because I didn't smash my legs in a 10k hard run. I have been so tired for like 6 weeks now and rest is needed to sharpen up for Sydney! SO everything should be good by then! Sorry for the quick post!
