From... Juan

Really, this is more of a thank you, since I crashed out of the race. When we made the final turn, people turned on the gas. It was probably a bit early, as it's a long way from the turn to the finish.At 200m to go, it kicks up a little ramp just before the finish, and I was looking forward to gaining a few positions if I could. And then, someone moved right a bit hard, and clipped the guy in front of me. He went down, perpendicular to my line and directly in my path, and I had riders right and left. I went over him at 30 mph. Fortunately, I didn't hit my head hard enough to go loopy, so I knew I wasn't going to need an ambulance ride (phew!) So, thanks to: Byan Pro for the pre-race tips, Joaquin Feliciano for lending a hand with the pacesetting and organizing, and to Ruth Anderson, Dave Carlson, Brian Halkett and Michael Spady for coming to check on me I while recovered my wits. My bike and I both have cosmetic damage, but nothing lasting.--Juan
