Trent's Training Plan Hurts
But he says I'll set some PR's because of all this 
The plan was to stay in Madison for the weekend and drive over to Dodgeville on Saturday and Sunday for their rides. Saturday was the ride for Autism a pretty small SAG ride. We opted for the 55 mile route on Saturday. About 50 mins into the ride as I was descending on a typical Wisconsin hill - Short and steep. I THINK I reach down to my right aero bar to shift and pushed the aero bar down as I lost control of the front end and have a single snap shot in my head of the accident. I remember see the bike go left and me going right. The power tap had be somewhere between 28-30mph.
I was knocked out on impact. From the degree of pain, I've reverse engineered what was happening. My wrist took the first impact and is sprained pretty bad as of today its back to normal. The swelling is gone and is only slightly sore. I have full range of motion and can make a real fist now. My right hip took the next blow and I pretty much stuck to the pavement. Some pretty bad road rash, followed by my knee. At some point I spun around and my shoulder and head took the last blow….knocking me out. Road rash on both elbows, both knees, and both shoulder blades but just one hip. Too bad I didn't have my helmet came on 
Karin found me in the middle of the hill pulling myself off the pavement. I was up and moving but the lights weren't on. I didn't know where we were, apparently I keep asking what state we were in…..I didn't know which direction we were going. I was looking up the hill and down the hill…..sorta confused. My head hurt but nothing was broken. My knees and hips were on fire though….
I fixed my aero bars and we soft peddled to the first aid station. Upon grossing out the volunteers, the que sheet had a short cut that would allow us to get back to home base. At the point, my head was clear but I wasn't really in the mood to do much riding.
I obviously skipped the Sunday Quadrupedal ride….
As of Today. The shoulder road rash is fine (never really did bother me), the elbow road rash is fine, my knees hurt mainly because of location do to flexing while walking. My hip is still gross and really bothers me because of location, basically at the pants line….
I'm standing down this week and might try and run on Friday. No swimming for week+ I'm guessing. It appears the bike is fine just some cracks in the paint…..
The Helment looks like an egg shell on the inside

So, is the plan now to stand down for a week then go run a sub-15 5K?
How is the bike?
Hayes,
Glad to hear you are alright. Definitely stand down until you feel better.
Gordon
Wow, dude, thank goodness you had that helmet on! Glad to hear you're doing OK, and get ready, cuz I think you're the next contestant on "Pulling a Trent"!
Mike
Hayes, sorry to hear about the crash, glad you're ok. That's scary stuff. Get checked out and let your body heal.
Dave
Phew!
Glad you're okay too.
Dude DO NOT FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE!!! Glad to here you are OK, but should get the noggin checked if you haven't.
Give it a week and then reasses how you feel, I'm sure the vdot bump will happen.
LOL! If a strong blow to the head is a recipe for a Vdot bump, show me a wall to ride into!
