sorry--didn't read the whole thread and didn't really even want to click on it (nothing personal, ovoleg, but it is one thing to read about a crash and another to maybe see pics & video....i don't love having that imagery in my head as i race).

i sure am sorry for what happened to you. "that's racing" offers little comfort in these situations. allow yourself to feel whatever you want to feel now...anger, sorrow, anything. sounds like you have an inner optimist in there. i bet we will see a better version of you back at some point.

i trot this out every time there is an injury, but every single time i've had an injury in life -- every. single. time. -- i have come back WAY stronger. i think if one views an injury as an opportunity to work on all the things that were neglected when we were just comfortably plodding along.
