OK here's the story...I passed an a guy in my AG in the last 200 meters, and tried to stay ahead of him. As I got to the line, I felt two people, one on each side, sprinting past me, so I tried to go one gear faster - gear was not there, kinda like going over the red line on the tach, I just collapsed across the line, lost my footing, and fell towards the barrier. My neck got stuck in the space between two of the barriers. When I saw the finish photos, my wife and I laughed so hard, I had to buy it.
No injury; it coulda been a lot worse I guess (like a torn jugular?)
