So, I have to take advantage of the local weather...high today was only 92...wow, that's like a whole 10 degrees cooler than it has been, and if lucky I may even enjoy a little bit of cloud cover (30% chance of rain). Well, there were no clouds, it still felt freaking hot as hell.

So I do my 6.5 miles on paved trail to a field/park with a mountain bike (really just dirt with some logs, ditches to traverse, but it is forested and you get out of the sun). First time on a bike in a while, and I'm keeping up a good pace to the MTB..but I do kind of realize I'm going through my camelback (gatorade pouch) kind of quick. I reach the MTB course..no mishaps! It's a 7 mile course, so now I've done 13.5 miles but my Camelback is drained, and I have sweat dripping down my forehead whenever.

Starting to worry about the heat a little bit, it's 6.5 miles back to home, but I decided to take it easy. To give my back a break, I sit up put my hands at my side and just use my balance to steer the bike...but I'm starting the feel a little woozy.

Then I wondered if somebody was coming up behind me and without putting my hands back on the handlebars, I look back. My balance failed me. My left elbow took the hit and it's a little bit hamburger right now, but it could have been so much worse. Left shoulderblade has a big road grating as well. All I could think about when I was going down was how much this was going to hurt. I think I assume the fetal position when I hit...can't remember if I cried for mommy or not. I've wiped out on dirt, but a crash on pavement is just so much worse.

Anyhow, I got home okay, no broken bones, and after a quick clean up when to the pool so I could work on my horrible farmer's tan. But the clouds rolled in :-(

Dude! Seriously...this is supposed to keep you healthy?!

One more argument against heavy exercise.

Hope you heal quickly.

Ouch. Get some iodine and paint mickey mouses around your injuries (3 circles positioned right works). Then you can claim it's art

You're not supposed to get hurt rolling. You are doing it wrong.
