Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014  Oh no! What happend? Ju jitsu session last week. One of the okes was a bit too keen in trying to get me to submit via a side arm bar and launched his 95kg weight into the side of my ribs... instead of just rolling back with my arm he jumped and landed with his entire weight on the ribs, leading with his shin. He didn't get the submission, but he bruised the hell outta my ribs.  Then on Friday I went back to ju jitsu and tried a few holds / break falls etc. Not the smartest thing to do!
Capricorn Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 the worst of the wind had to be the start's wind tunnel. holy crap that was a surprise, and surprisingly brutal! Its like riding into a wall, literally. Riders were shouting to those in front to pedal and get one with it and yadah yadah, until they found out for themselves what the problem was. No one could hear their expletives Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1

jcza Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Tough tough day out there - us Vaalies can't ride in the wind. Rode with 50mm wheels, was fun. Sitting in beer tent with Mike Bike drowning my sorrows. See you next year! Edited March 9, 2014 by jcza Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
