This kid is going to give me grey hairs!
Kirk placed 21st today in the road race at US Nationals Championships in the U23 division. That’s two days after being release from the hospital for having a torn lung! He can’t breath deep but everything else is feeling good no sever aches and pains from the door impalement he received on Monday.
Kirk attacked the field and was off the front for a lap when he was brought back to the pack. Kirk spent most of the time on the front of the field driving the pace then a break went and Kirk bridged the two minutes to make it a ten-man breakaway; containing Jenkins, Nordblom, Monteleone, Barton, Peter Salon, Graham Howard (Priority Health), Kirk Carlsen (Rubicon), Alex Welch (Mercy-Specialized), Andrew Dahlheim, and Jim Camut (Cycling Center Power). He was dropped on the final climb and finished 21st. That’s a great finish considering what happened to him on Monday.
He will lay low (right, Kirk) and race the US National Crit Champs on Sunday, where both he and his lung should be feeling 10,000 times better then. He also asked if there was anyone out there who would be willing to take out some stitches for him on Monday, as he will be back in P-Town Monday. Any takers?
