The up side is that when I called my wife to tell her I crashed I was able to divert her attention to how much WORSE it is that I can't start the next stage. Near perfect diversion from the fact that I could have been a vegetable.
On another note, given my "situation" I think that stage race rules should be augmented for lower cat racers. It is not sensible that a rider can be pulled from a stage by the officials and still be allowed to start the following day, but someone who is crashed out and medically able to race be prevented from starting--and ends their weekend early. Esp given how far some people have traveled. I'm actually quite upset about that.
