First fall of the season and it was a good one. While mountain biking, I was doing a mock race, thus moving pretty quick. Front wheel went off the trail slightly and hit something that stopped the wheel instantly. Unfortunately, my body kept going and over the bars I went. Normally not too much of an issue, but at 18mph it caused some damage. First, my front wheel is bent. Second, I received a one inch puncture wound on my right arm thanks to a stick I landed on. It was rather gross pulling the stick out and I started to get really dizzy from the pain. I was able to slowly get back to my car and clean up the wound. Was still bleeding pretty good, but I thought I could sneak in a simple 2 mile trail run. At mile 1 I puked.
Doing much better today. Arm is still screaming but manageable. Front wheel being repaired and hope to be back in the saddle on Friday.
