Last weekend was full of laughter and stupidity.
I have been training for a sprint triathlon (400 m swim, 10 mile bike, 3 mile run). I didn't have a bike in Salt Lake City, so I trained on a stationary bike. The night before the race I went to a certain Doctors home (who shall remain un-named, for fear that a malpractice attorney would find out). He let me borrow his road bike. It was a beautiful bike, but it had clip in shoes. I had never been on a bike with clips, so I went for my maiden voyage to test it out.
The foreshadowing probably gives away the surprise. As I drove past his house I yelled to Aubree and the owner: "I'm locked and loaded!" I came to a stop and I began to tip to my left, but my left foot was stuck in! I tipped right over like a great fat sequoia tree falling down. While I was on the ground with my big black puffy coat, I heard Dr. Owner yell: "You looked like a retard!" I felt like one.
However as I went to get up, I realized my arm didn't work right and I said, "I think I dislocated my shoulder." Sure enough when I took my shirt off (easy ladies), it was dislocated. Greg, I mean... Dr. Owner said he thinks he knows how to fix it. To be sure, we checked on YouTube and found this:
We watched the video and looked at eachother: "yah, we can do that." So we went in on his living room and he reduced the shoulder. He is normally a nutcracker, but now we can say he's a shoulder cracker. He's a handy guy to have around. I'm glad he was there.
The next morning my shoulder was sore, so Aubree did the swimming part, and I biked and swam. Aubree ended up doing the whole thing! She's incredible!

That video creeped me out watching that poor guys shoulder pop back into place - I hope you had some pain meds! Way to go Aubree and Craig for your awesome Triathlon skillz!
Good job on the tri! I can totally relate to falling on the bike. I fell at an intersection and still have the scar to prove it
awesome. I too hate the clips! Sorry that had to be funny though. Are you and Aubs living in SLC then?
LOL! Sorry to laugh at your pain but that is funny.
WOW. Hope all is better now. Congrats.
You guys are da bomb!! Hope you made it home safely. Sorry we didn't get together more. We'll have to make a date when you're here for Christmas!
Aubree you are a champ! How are you guys? Your daughters are just BEAUTIFUL!
