My favorite of the day. Scott on the ground. Mrs. Psimet - RN assessing him. Me with my hands in my pockets saying helpful stuff like, "can you breathe? Does it hurt when you laugh? FWIW - he hit that light pole to the left of the picture. I was where Wilke was when he took the shot and looked up and saw a Yellow Cannondale flipping head high sans rider. I was running before I could get out "that's Scott".

Good weather last weekend is what it sounded like, hopefully that holds true for this one as well.

Let's face it - I have no talent on the bike, but I can wrench, organize, run stuff, read tactics, the field and courses like crazy - I should stay on the sidelines.

Indeed. I have this crazy instinct for it too. I always seem to be moving and reacting before it even dawns on me what's really happening.

I'm the same, Flatballer.
I actually got a kick out of driving the follow-car for the team during training camp.
(why was I in the car? Long story. PM me if you're really curious)

I'm the guy on the front. Yeah, I know, attack when on the front, and it crossed my mind, but we were about 200 meters from the feed zone and I didn't want to be that guy.

Don't attack when ON the front. That's stupid. Just one of those Truisms... :-) Seriously, good call. Don't be the guy that attacks the feed zone. Ever. Maybe THAT is a truism. God I hate that word.

See the 1000+ post Addiction thread in the 41 for the sordid Scott details. Wanted to replace the high mileage Six13.
