Kurt and I went out to Lake De Gray yesterday where he would ride/train on the mtn bike trails and then go for a run. I would start out there riding around the lake on my road bike and then make my way back to Little Rock to complete a century. It was a perfect spring day and I was enjoying the green rolling hills, the blossoms, the combination of forests and farmlands. I was making good time despite the climbing and a bit of a headwind. My knees were holding up and I felt confident that I could start my HAMR attempt soon if nothing else emerges. Well, that wasn't to be the case. I was able to ride away from about seven dogs along the way, but the eighth one was ruthless going after my front wheel. As soon as my wheel touched him I went flying. Landing on my head first. When I tried to push myself up off the pavement with my left hand I could feel that my shoulder was broken. "NO!!!" I was out in the middle of Lono (nowhere), yet thankfully there was a corner store called the Corner Store only a block away. I picked up my bike and walked only to be chased again by three more vicious barking dogs! I don't remember if I yelled or spoke nice to the dogs. I found a bench and assessed my injuries. Kurt picked me up and back again to Urgent Care. Yep, the x-ray confirmed a fragmented clavicle. The pain pills are delaying how disheartened I am.
