Subject: [lunasaltlakecity] reminder: wear your helmet!!!
lunachix ladies! it was great meeting you all at the workout last monday. I'm wishing I would've gotten off my lazy butt and started working out with you all last summer (especially since I wasn't pregnant then and could actually train...)
as you all start training for the upcoming season's tri's, please remember to be safe out there! my husband was the cyclist who was hit by a car yesterday morning (the one where the woman who hit him got out of her car and looked at my husband laying there unconscious and then got back in her car and drove away) on his way to work. his helmet literally saved his life. so please, please, please be safe out there on the roads!
and just so you know, my husband is doing really well under the circumstances. he was very lucky. he fractured the base of his skull and had a compression fracture in his back, but no surgery will be required and he should be released from the hospital by tomorrow. he's been on
spinal precaution throughout all of this, but hopefully that should be lifted soon. again, he was extremely lucky that it wasn't worse.
anyway, have a fun, SAFE ride next monday! hopefully I'll see you all again soon at another workout.
