Kimber's bike race was today, and as you can tell from the title of the blog, all did not go as planned.
She made it past at least 52 kilometers okay, but something happened (she doesn't remember the incident at all) and she was found by one of the other participants in the road. She has a concussion, a full-thickness laceration on her right forearm that is about 10 cm long and required 11 stitches, and some road rash.
I met up with her at the first clinic she was taken to about the time they were getting ready to do the stitches. She was then sent to the hospital for a CT and x-rays (all negative), then discharged home.
She is pretty disappointed about not finishing the race, but considering the condition of her helmet, she is pretty lucky to have escaped with the injuries she has. No idea on the condition of her bike - it is locked up at the real estate office in the town the race was in and we probably won't be able to get to it until at least tomorrow.
She is resting now and will hopefully get some sleep before waking up very sore tomorrow.
