This entire race report can be filed under Murphy’s Law: Murphy was an optimist!

Can’t wait for the rest of this.

I am always the weak link. There is always something i have done that my wife needs to forgive me for. Fortunately, the family is awesome and can make up for me. Also, my wife’s ability to continually forgive my shortcomings is only one of the beautiful things about her.

I have not read ahead or looked at the results, but I am predicting a disheveled, confused, and somewhat hobbled Fatty still manages to pull out something special on this stage or the next, only to be totally outdone by the family (again).

I also predict ice cream consumption.

I swear this race report has more barely averted disasters than Finding Dory. Gripping stuff!

And for some reason the paragraph breaks didn’t get copied. Sorry about that.

Add me to the hernia blog list as well. Hopefully yours is/was not like mine. I ended up having issues in my groin, feeling like I pulled a muscle, for about three months. It wasn’t until the wife and I did some searching on the web that the thought of a Hernia came up in our minds. The pain was not constant and went away after sleeping. After consulting a medical hotline with our insurance, they asked me to push the inguinal hernia back in. This didn’t sound too bad except for the pain it caused. We wimped out and opted for the ER. They confirmed I had a hernia and scheduled me for a doctor visit later in the month. The doc was great, but found I had to indirect inguinal hernias and recommended the RoBo surgery where they inter the abdomin cavity above the waist line. It wasn’t until after thei started getting to work inside my groin region that a third hernia was discovered. The plus side: all corrective actions performed and I feel better than ever. I even took a walk with the family at DisneyLand on post-surgery-day 10! The bad side: not getting the hernia repaired sooner!

@davidh-…, awesome deconstruction of the family tree. You, sir, are a magician with a sharp mind and a sharper chainsaw.

@JeffD Kudos for the Leadville Links.

As for Bike Rack Ben….

Lindesy is Elden Niece, his sister’s daughter, her father’s name is “Rocky’! He sees these people at Thanksgiving.

Ben, nice as he is, is a nephew-in-law. If something were to happen, Elden could probably just text his parents.

I used to think I was the only one that had the continual comedy of errors- cue up the Benny Hill soundtrack at biking/ life events (which also home repair projects). I’m smiling as I read as I can absolutely see myself in your place. I can picture pretty much the exact van incident spot- middle of nowhere is a good descriptor. I’m looking forward to the next installment.

“I would lose us few seconds, tops, by not being there as she crossed the line. Surely that wouldn’t be the difference between a win or loss, right?”

Foreshadowing?
