When I crashed, I initially thought...."oh no. Please don't let anyone have this on video." I imagined my crash appearing on Slowtwitch, and I wondered what I would say to defend myself.
A day later, I saw this picture of Heather Wurtele. I had heard that about 7 people had crashed in the same spot, and I felt a little better to see that even a seasoned professional could go down too.
Heather's crash looked eerily like mine felt. I poured through the pictures, hoping there was not one of me as well. (BTW, congrats, Heather, on a great finish and podium place. Nice race!) I couldn't find a picture of me. Saved!!!!
And then it happened. Shawn posted one of me on our Wattie Ink page. Touche, touche. Love it. There I was, spread eagle on the ground in T2.
We had a lot of fun with this picture for a day or two on Wattie Ink, at my expense, but well worth it.
Denise couldn't contain herself, though, and she posted a re-enactment of my crash on facebook. Now, that is funny stuff. I was laughing all day long at this picture, and it is my new favorite picture. Don't you worry, Denise, 3 weeks from now I will get you back at IMTX- I have some ideas :))))).
Kari (does anyone remember her? She used to blog....) also added to the fun and made a side by side comparison of my real crash versus the barbie re-enactment. I love my friends.
So, the spread eagle crash re-enactment is the new "planking." I thought my crash was long forgotten, but Mustafa kindly posted this picture on Wattie Ink today with the caption "getting my Damie on."
Spread eagle- my new pose. It looks a little bit like a mating call.
I frickin' love my teammates and friends. I haven't laughed so hard in one week for as long as I can remember. We have more crotch shots going around the Wattie Ink page than I think I need to see. (Better than the picture of Matthew Ward- an unmentionable picture...I promise not to spill the beans on that one).
I love to laugh at myself. I will also love getting revenge on a few of you. :))))))

Oh man, you guys are funny :-) As long as nothing BAD (like injury) happens - we can laugh :-)
THIS is so funny! I love the side by side barbie pic and you. I am glad you are ok, and now we can laugh about it.
Yes, who is this Kari you speak of? She used to blog and email me all the time!
