Tuesday I went to do my last TT for the year. That was going pretty well until some twat in a tractor decided he didn't want to share the road and I was left trying to shed 25 mph with no space. I managed to detour down a skinny verge, dragging my left shoulder along a harled wall in the process, and shed enough speed so that the final crash over the bars onto the other shoulder wasn't too serious. Lost a significant amount of skin (decided against posting the photos), and will have some nasty bruises, but nothing more serious. Tractor driver didn't even stop to check if I was alive.
Wednesday to Friday I was sensible about the damage. It is primarily cosmetic, a lot of missing skin on my left shoulder, arm and knuckles, but my right shoulder took the brunt of the landing and is still aching a bit. By Friday my exercise withdrawal was messing around with my hormone and endorphin levels and I was starting to have problems with my depression again. I considered a short run in the evening but instead I settled for a bit of a walk to get my 10,000 steps.
Saturday I had a lot of wedding planning to do but I managed to sneak in a short run in the morning.
Sunday I planned to go out on the bike and do the rest of my miles for the week but the morning came with more of an ache in my right shoulder and I decided not to risk the bike yet. I have to pedal to work three times next week so I will easily make enough bike miles next week to keep me on track. Instead I went out for longer run planning to put myself through 500 running miles for the year in the same week that I went through 1400 bike miles. My shoulder still doesn't like the bouncing impact of running though so I cut that short. Dexter should take me through 500 miles on wedding day.
A bit of a crap week, but after Tuesday's crash that isn't really a big surprise. A little unfortunate with another short week coming next week but it could have been an awful lot worse.
