Uh oh!

I woke up to a huge scare this morning.

Sister crashed her bike on a downhill in her triathlon! Luckily, my other sister was behind, stopped and stayed with her. She ended up getting rushed to the nearest PA hospital.

It turns out she had a slight concussion and only needed a few stitches above her lip. She didn't even remember the crash at all! But her gears were completely out of whack, her helmet was cracked in half and she was pretty bloody, according to my other sister.

It's so important to have a buddy to race with or even just someone there, in case an emergency does arise. Also, when biking, you should always, always, always wear a helmet. My sister got lucky. Just think how much worse it could have been if she wasn't wearing a helmet!

(One of the lesser important worries: Neither of my sisters had any form of ID or cash on them when they went to the hospital. It's always a good idea to have a pair of shorts with a zipper pocket. You never know what could happen!)
