FF. seven at Lake Elizabeth.

woke up around 9:30, got ready and met up with everyone at MCD's around 10:30. headed to fremont at around 11:30. got there at 12ish? met up with the rest of the riders and signed in got number 46. waited like another half hour before we recieved our manifest, another 20 minutes before we laid our bikes down. i blanked out and didnt even know where the damn hub is!! ive been there so many times.. read over the whole thing and got in on carl's plan. our whole plan was to follow him when the race started. GOOOOOOOO!!!!! was the last thing i heard at lake elizabeth. i ran for my bike and got out front with three other riders. one, two.. i tried to be the third guy to run a light a little less than a mile away from the start. the intersection of WALNUT and PASEO PADRE, i got in between cars trying to get to the other end. a guy was doing a track stand suddenly turns my way which is left. i end up slamming into him and flipped over head first.. i got back up right away. looked around and crossed the damn intersection on a red!! all i heard after the big hit was, "how did you manage to hit me?" i realized this about a block away already. i started to feel dazed and lost, a huge headache came to me.. i got the first stamp from the hub. the girl tells us that bay street cafe was close by, i was so lost i forgot the whole plan of riding all the way to dumbarton after the hub stamp. i rode to irvington and stopped for a minute. not realizing that smokes, tony, and niles was gone and outta sight. i decided to call TC to tell him i crashed and i was hella confused. i was suppose to know where i was going.. the headaches wouldnt stopppppp. i decided to call my race off and got back to my car. my gf ended up driving me back home cause my head and my neck hurt too much. as for the bike.. nothing was wrong with it, just moved the stem out of place. (back to normal now). the day was alright, grabbed hella fruits and veggies to recooperate.
