Describing The Nexus of Distance Running and The Law.

Sunday, April 23, 2006

Okay. Tri-season has officially begun. This morning I went out my first “long-ride” with my awesome Tri-buddies at Tri-Fury. (www.trifury.com)
All was well, as I intended to ride for approximately 28 miles, followed by a 5k brick run. This would qualify as one of those all-important “Breakthrough workouts” Right?
Well, with about 1.4 miles left, three people hit the floor, crashing themselves into a stonewall. Paramedics, firefighters, and police of North Andover could have been any more efficient.
My club, and its members are all so caring, and provided all the necessary medical attention needed.
It reminds me, how dangerous a sport we take up. The inherent risks every time we tie our shoes, or clip in, or even take a light swim, we take risks. But oh, how I love it so.
So, in summary, be careful out there, and take everyday as if it is your last.
