1 week post crash and I'm feeling (little) better. The soreness that I had from hitting the pavement at 23mph remains. It feels like a really really tough workout, but my recovery isn't taking the same path as a hard workout. I tried pushing the pace tuesday night, but I popped way too fast. More healing needed.
The body does have a mechanism to heal itself, and it entails sleep and more sleep. My new intervals have been stretches of REM, rapid eye movement sprints....
Strange how cloudy the brain can get with a concussion. My attention to tasks has been short, reading difficult. Not that anyone would ever say that I am a patient person, but I've not been able to concentrate for long stretches...
Dog update: Mr. Pickett (the owner) says the dog is fine...I plan to roll by is the rain stops and take a look myself.
Bike update: front wheel toast, saddle trashed, derailleur hanger bent, and some noise in the front end, will test this soon.
Clothes update: helmet, jersey and shorts trashed (lucky it was my "TEAM #O##" bibs)
more later.

Man, I hope you're feeling better. It sucks to hit the pavement like that. Hoping you're better and will be ready for next week. Jay
