Clipped training...

So yesterday started out a good day with a 2 mile run at 6am. Followed by work, then headed home to get some quick miles in before the family got home. Did a couple hill repeats, a couple sprints and ended up getting about 11 miles in. But...and there is a huge BUTT in this story and that butt drives a large orange Avalanche. I'm getting ready to end my ride and jump back into my neighborhood when I turn off of Hollywood Avenue onto Hamilton. Start climbing up toward Peaslee (just to see if I could harass some Team Hungry riders) when the car in the left lane decides to turn left on Larry Avenue. No problem since I'm in the right lane...but when the orange Avalanche behind them quickly shifts to the right lane (making an assumption that this person was probably texting, talking, eating, playing Angry Birds, etc...), they clip my left elbow and I go off the road onto the sidewalk (see pic below).


Exhibit A: GPS simulated since tracking on the Strava Android app sucks!

So at this point the common, descent person would probably stop to make sure the person you just clipped was alright, correct? Nope, not today says the Avalanche driver. ugh.

So this morning I wake up and my elbow is obviously sore. However, I am thankful it didn't end up worse than a small bruise that I will deal with for the next few days. This is my first run in with a car on the road and hoping it's my last for quite some time!
