Not as tired as I am of this pain all over my body. It felt fairly tight to me. One thing's for sure though. I'm definitely going to tighten the everloving crap out of it in all future cases.

Ok, it was an Aluminum Velocity skewer. Velocity is replacing my rim for free for this incident, and i'm switching to steel campy skewers.

Genetics have failed me
Well, you're starting the season kinda late, you know. I think last year by that time you were already like 2 or 3 crashes ahead

I think my injuries are actually worse from this one. That other guy took a lot of my energy from the Evanston crash, but in this one, it was all the road.

Vertical or horizontal dropouts? I don't have nearly enough power to pull a wheel all the way out, but I did mildly misalign one in my horizontal dropout bike.
One of the myriad of reasons why I dislike horizontal dropouts.
