That little incident I mentioned in my last blog (about crashing on the Mesa Trail) has turned into a bit more of a nuisance than I originally anticipated. Apparently breaking my fall with my knee on a Boulder has consequences that have to be faced. After battling a serious virus, several days of food poisoning, and this bruised knee (in the past five weeks); I'm ready for some good fortune. Coincidentally, I tend to race Half Ironmans quite well when something unexpected happens the weekend before, so perhaps that will be the good fortune I seek. We'll have to wait and see. More later this week,
