Just as I was heading back I had a small tip over the handlebars. It wasn't a serious crash at all, but when I got up I saw a gaping hole in my lower left leg, just above and to the left of my ankle. I knew it was serious, so I asked God to prevent me from panicking and to think smart. I knew I needed to stop the bleeding so I took my shirt off, wrapped it as tight as I could around the wound. But I couldn't tie it. I had to figure out how to hold it in place. I remembered I had a spare tube in my Camelback. I used that and the rubber bands that were around the tube to hold my shirt on place. As soon as I got to higher ground I called Harmony and Cherish. Due to poor reception it was tough to communicate but I got enough communication to Cherish. I honestly didn't know if I was going to make it out on my own to feet. But I did. Cherish drive me to the ER and got fixed up. Spent the night at Cherish's.
