Last September, at the Mt. Shasta Hill Climb - 14 miles, with 4100 feet of climbing.
I was having a great race until I got a front wheel flat. I thought I was only about half a mile from the finish, so left my shoes on the side of the road, and started running with the bike.
After about 300 meters, I realized my progress was too slow, and that the finish was actually over a mile away. So, I jumped back on the bike, and rode to the finish sans shoes.
Sadly, I got passed by a guy in my age group in the last 500 meters, thus slipping to second place. But I did cement a reputation for crazy in my club.
Note: I was also riding with an unhealed broken clavicle.

Genetics have failed me
Cobb park crit from like 3 weeks ago or so. Somewhere in the back of the pack as there are not many riders left behind me. I finished in the pack.

You Sir have a "it's only a flesh wound" approach to riding. Chapeaux

We had a pretty good gap there I guess because (apparently to me NOW 
) cars were driving on the course inbetween us and the pack. (I am in the yellow with red helmet)

Is it still suffering if you're crossing the line first?

My teammate, Ashton Lambie, won the Cat 4 race one of the days in Lawrence. Kid is 19 and killing people already!! 
He just won the Omaha Cycling Weekend with a 2nd in the TT, 1st in the Crit and 1st in the RR.
And to think, he started off the season as a brand new Cat 5...
"The Kid," FTW in a sprint this weekend!
UPDATE: The Kid is now a Cat 3.
