Another setback

 After my September 9, 2020 bike crash where I broke my left collarbone, I took another spill on a training ride on May 22, 2022.  I landed on my right shoulder, hip and knee and struck my (helmeted) head on the concrete up on Route 46.  Nothing broke, but I lost a minute as I have no memory of the crash, just standing next to the bike afterwards.  At mile 18, I had to ride 10 miles back to the van and then drive home.  I went to the Advent Health ER on the 24th and they did a lot of tests which showed nothing.  Then I saw Dr. Awan, the DO at Advent RDV, and he ordered PT for me with David Garcia, a hip X-ray (nothing broken), and an MRI of my shoulder.  It's been 3 weeks now and I'm still hurting.  The week before my crash, I had a solid week of training on Sanibel/Captiva, riding 100 miles, running 12, and swimming in the Gulf everyday.  And this past weekend, I missed the first Sommer Sports Sprint Tri out in Clermont.  As this is a path I've traveled before, I'll just be patient and climb back up.

On the cover of the Moultoneer!

 During my Olympic distance victory at the 2021 Cocoa Triathlon, photographer Cory Knowlton shot a great photo of me on the bike leg along the river.  After I wrote another article for the Moulton Bicycle Club magazine, The Moultoneer, Cory gave us permission to use the photo.  Editor Tom Esslemont thought the photo looked so good, it would be the cover for the spring issue.  As I was on the red SST, with the red Hammer kit, he added red graphics on the cover.  I'm very happy with the way it came out; thanks to Cory and Tom for making it happen.
