Well here is the report, short and sweet because one handed typing is way too much fun to want to go on for hours. 

Sunday i went down to race the DU criterium in Denver.  The pace started out fast and the course was technical.  Half the field was ready for the race and the other half made it a few laps before pulling out commenting that its only March.  I fell into the group of riders that were ready.  I missed the first break that had all the power of an NRC race.  I was moving up the now small and shattered field to make an attempt to jump across to the break when the rider in front of me clipped a pedal and went down.  I hit him and flew over my handle bars landing hard on my left hand.  I sat there for a few seconds before moving to the side.  I knew i was a bit shaken up but didnt think anything more.  I got back on my bike and started to ride to the pits to take a free lap and continue racing.  When i was riding i noticed my seat post was snapped and i wasnt going to be able to keep racing.  As i stood on the side watching the race i began to feel some more pain in my arm and it became more difficult to move.  I watched the rest of the race which was won by my Buddy Pete lopinto, followed by Tyler Hamilton and a crew of toyota united fast guys which included Chris Baldwin, Hank Vogels, Justin England and Jonathan Clark.  My teammate Allen stuck it out there and showed off with a great ride to finish 7th.  It was a very impressive ride by him considering he was fried and just minutes away from a week off. 

So when i got home i began to think something was probably broken in my arm.  I wasnt in too much pain so i took a shower to wash out the road rash that came with the crash and told my parents that i thought we should go to dinner(it was my moms birthday), and then maybe go get some x rays.  They decided x rays were priority so we went to the ER.  Sure enough i had fractured my Radius head but wasnt going to need surgery.  The next morning we went to south side walnut cafe(go there if your ever in town, so good) to make up for the missed birthday dinner and i went to see the bone specialist.  He decided t would not need a cast, just ace wrap.  I still need to stay off my arm for 4 weeks before i get another set of x rays and determine if i can put weight on the hand and ride a bike(it was 70 degrees the day he told me i couldn’t ride). 

So that is where i am at right now, trying to find jobs i can do with one arm, since construction isnt gonna work.  Trying to find ways to keep and hopefully even improve the fitness i have right now.  I will keep you posted on how things are going but for now my arm is about to fall off after all this hunting and pecking.
