<p>Anyone going to be doing this race on Mother's Day?</p>

<p>I'll be out at the New England Season Opener at Hopkinton State Park.  I've heard great things about the Sudbury Sprint, though.</p>

<p>It's a good little race.  I did it 2 years ago.  Although, post race is rather boring. </p>

<p>Hey!  What have you been up to?  I was just talking about you the other day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To answer your question, no, I'm doing a little bicycle tour with 3000 of my closest friends.</p>

Really?  Talking about me?   You realized I'm not the Prince that was getting married?</p>

<p>I've been surviving the winter.  trying not to gain too much weight.  Now fighting to get beck into shape.  Last season was a wash due to the rib injury.  But I'm hoping for a good season this year.  Thinking about giving one more shot at qualifiying for Boston...  Need to pick a local fall marathon. What's up with you? </p>

<p>Rib injury?!  What happened?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Son4's math book had a photo of a hand cycle incorrectly labeled as a racing wheelchair.  Nope!  NOT the same thing!</p>

<p>On St. Patrick's Day 2010, I was accidently pushed from behind.   I went down and landed mid/left-chest across my crutch.  Busted/fractured a couple of ribs. Didn't really feel it until the next day. I couldn't even bend over to tie my shoes.  It was months before I was able to really work out  and not until August I was racing at normal speeds and ability again.  I had to eat 2 triathlon fees and a handful of road races.  On the good side, I did manae to stay at the bar, left a few pints and continue to sing irish songs.   After all, I am a professional.</p>

That happens all the time. Even at our own events you will catch a "reporter" call a handcycle a racing wheelchair.</p>
