No race today

For those of you not friends with me on FB.  Dont you wish you were?  :)
So we were taking this construction exit off the highway to get to the race.  It must be a new traffic pattern.  As I was making a left hand turn a kid on a motorcycle came barrelling up the road into the intersection and hit me.  As I was making the left hand turn it will be my fault with no citation issued. 
An hour+ sitting on the side of the road in my race attire.  EMTs. Police. Fire. The works. 
We went to the race site.  It was neat to see.  So many people.  Such a comraderie.  I felt so much on the outside with my own little experience going on. 
I returned my chip.  They offered to put me in another start time.  I declined.  I dont think I could have made it mentally. Probably would have started crying even more when I got out there on the bike all by myself.
Now we are sitting in the tire shop.  Hoping the real tire wont be impacted by the body damage.  I would like to wait to get back to NC to get any body work completed.
What to do next?  Swim at the resort.  Maybe even ride around the parking lot.  Something to get the stress and sadness out.
