Sometimes I wonder if Jack is fated to never finish an Ironman. We set off on our 115 mile ride this morning - the weather had cleared after overnight rain and the sun was actually shining in a watery, English November sort of way.Things were looking good until Jack crossed over a level crossing and got her front wheel caught in the tracks.
Boom!
She landed on the exact same elbow she injured in July but this time the bone fractured. Radial head and neck fractures plus the old scar blew open to expose a lot of flesh. New 2XU winter jacket has a huge bloodstain on the arm. Some railway workers gave her and her bike a ride home and we spent the rest of the day at the hospital.
She will probably have surgery on Monday but that is not confirmed yet, for the moment she in in plaster and having intravenous antibiotics.
I'll keep you posted on her progress.
(Thanks for all the good wishes - they are all much appreciated)

Oh Jackie darling, you are so tough. You hang in here and let Gordy shower you with love and affection, as he should. Like Mike said, next year is your year - and we'll be together, in Madison!! xoxo
