HCE slightly bruised Medal Monday! Even with hundreds of races and thousands of miles on a bike sometimes accidents happen. Down on the bike half a mile from transition with a broken derailleur, whacked hip and shoulder, and busted open and bleeding forearm…but still able to get up and carry bike into transition and head out onto the run. Dripping 🩸the entire run but somehow able to run back up for a second place AG finish. Big shout out to for making a bikes that 1) are built strong and 2) have components that are repairable and having parts in stock. Also to for making the HCE tri kit out of fabric that tore very little and saved a lot of skin.
