I'm glad you have such a caring and supportive fiance. I hope your body heals quickly and your ring can be fixed. People stink in races, they only care about themselves, which is sad. Glad you had support there with you. You would have be fine if it weren't for the jerk having no course ettiquite. Running ettiquite, especially in races is definately decreasing as I run more races. I got tripped in the last 1/4 mile of the RNR Dallas Half last year. The guy who did it never turned around or helped me. I got up all bloody and battered and finished ahead of him. I was fortunate to only have Unfortunately first aid was lacking, they handed me a bandaid and that's it. I was gushing blood from my elbow, hip, and knee. I have some nice literal "battle scars". They healed, but the hole in my hip took almost 2 months :-( There will always be another race. I know it stinks, but at least you have a super amazing fiance to get you through this hurdle. I think everything happens for a reason...maybe it was to show you just how great your marriage will be. To show you he'll always pick you up when you fall, even when it's literally... :-( That stinks! I’m glad you have such a caring and supportive fiance.
