Georgia Stage 3
I'm on a roll with the dumb moves. As anyone following the race today knows, there was a nasty crash about 60k into the stage. Timmy Duggan of Slipstream, one of the nicest guys out there, ended up in the hospital in fairly bad shape. Thankfully, the injuries were much less serious than they sounded at the time. There was concern of some pretty serious head trauma at first. His crash happened on a fast downhill while everyone was still fighting to establish the day's break. Just after it happened, four guys slipped off the front and one of my teammates suggested someone should go after them. I went, and I shouldn't have. It was dumb and I deserved every bit of verbal abuse that I received, and then some. I really feel the need to apologize publicly. It was certainly far from my finest moment.
So get well soon, Timmy. My deepest apologies for your misfortune and my own insensitivity to it.
Otherwise, it was another hot, hard, fast day that finished in a sprint. Things get more interesting tomorrow with the team time trial. I'll be trading pulls with a former world TT champ and a former olympic TT champ. It's not going to be comfortable.

we all do things in the heat of the moment that doesn't make sense in hindsight. None of us can guarantee mistake-free lives, but recognizing mistakes goes a long way... keep it up...All OBRA's routing for ya!
