Jeez. I had a great workout tonight. Well, until I made a stupid mistake. I mean, leave it to me.

The culprit:

The result:

Yeah, so that’s awesome. I have yet another nice little cut, this time on my left knee, and a good swollen knot to go with it.

I was right in the middle of my second effort and launched myself over my bike after attempting to go over this log. It’s a much larger log than I normally even think about riding over, but I thought I had enough speed to go over it. What I completely misjudged was the fact that this log was laying diagonal to the trail, so I pulled up to go over it a little early… resulting in my chain ring digging into the log and throwing me straight over the handlebars. FABULOUS.

Well, what’s a girl to do?

… get up and finish the workout.

At least I can’t be accused of giving a half-effort on my bike.
