Reason to wear a helmet and new family member

This morning I worked out with Piotr Bednarski’s Go-Training group for 3 hrs total counting my time rolling from home.  I rolled to practice, played Ultimate Frisbee with the kids and then went on a 1:45hr classic ski with Gordon, Ben and Ben, and finished by rolling home.  Great workout and lots of fun!

I was going to follow that workout with a ride into Gear West and back, but 2 minutes into my bike I was T-boned by a car coming out of a drive way that rolled through a stop sign.  I had the right-of-way but the driver didn’t see me.  I’m banged up, my left hand does not work properly and my bike is toast; but I’m alive.  The lesson here is “WEAR YOUR HELMET.”  I had mine on and if I had not been wearing it I could still be laying in the road.

Hopefully I heal up quick so I can get out training soon.  The weather has been great here in the Twin Cities.

In other more important news, I became a Dad twice over little over a week ago.  Marybeth, Grant and I welcomed Samantha Lea Liebsch into our family on Tuesday, June 16th at 10:37pm.  She is the cutest little girl… and sleeps a lot!
