If you watch the Ironman races on tv, you will sometimes see people interviewed that have been hit by cars while out running or biking. It is always a real concern while training, because you can be as careful as you want to be, but there are still stupid people out there who think it is funny to see how close they can get to a runner or biker!
In the area where we live, rednecks in big trucks like to come up behind James when he is on the bike and blare their horns as loud as they can!
Today, a doublewide knocked him off the road and just kept on going! Thankfully, he was not injured, just shook up and angry. He ended up coming home and finishing his workout on the trainer because it is too close to the race to take a chance on getting hurt. It is really sad that he felt like he had to do that on such a beautiful day!
So glad he is okay. That must have been scary!
