Longjohn ★ Posted July 19, 2017 Share #1 Posted July 19, 2017 A pathetic triathletes group I am in posted this guys crash and Strava map. He lost control and hit the side of the bridge, flipped over the railing 14 feet down with his feet still clipped in, landing on his back in two feet of water. Crossed the river and made his way back to the road where he rode the 14 miles home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoseySusan Posted July 19, 2017 Share #2 Posted July 19, 2017 That would be more adrenaline than I could handle. Gads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted July 19, 2017 The Strava map shows he staggered around a bit before he figured out a plan to get back up to the road. Someone said true triathlete , swim first then bike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted July 19, 2017 Share #5 Posted July 19, 2017 Is crashing an organized activity where you live? Seems to be a lot of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't show us any gross pictures of your leg after your crash, you get more BA points with a photo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Posted July 20, 2017 Share #11 Posted July 20, 2017 He's not really doing anything to help the perception that Tri guys bike handling abilities absolutely suck. A little light road rash. He's just lucky he didn't hit a rock going off the bridge and that his bike survived the fall well enough to ride home. Bad Ass? Not even close. Lucky Ass? Yes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoo Posted July 20, 2017 Share #12 Posted July 20, 2017 I give him the award. I just checked his Facebook page (trying to figure out where the bridge is). The guy completed a 520K ultra tri. That's 323.1 miles for the conversionally challenged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Come on haven't you ever gone over the bridge? It's tough swimming across the river with your bike and riding home with blood running down your leg. When I rode my bike home I wasn't even bleeding (on the outside) I just had a broken rib and a f'd up shoulder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
