Wen, I was the first bike behind you. I was about 20 yards back and had my eyes on you like normal riders do on a bike in front. I saw you swerve a little, then your front wheel did the scary wobble back and forth and then turned sideways. You went over the top and rolled once or twice. I immediately stopped to check on you to see if you needed help but you were unresponsive. I checked your pulse and it was fine. I checked your breathing and it seemed OK but a little restricted. I talked to you but you were unconscious. I yelled for passing bikers to send medical help from the next aid station. I made sure not to move you at all. I gently rubbed your shoulder and just talked to you. By then another biker, number 515 stopped to help. He checked your eyes and they seemed fine. After about 5, 6, 7 minutes went by, I put my hand on your shoulder and said a prayer out loud for God to watch over you and heal you. That I didn’t know your name but pray that you wake up.

After maybe 10 minutes an IM staff truck showed up. We told them what was going on, but you were still unresponsive. 515 and I asked if you could say your name, nothing. Could you open your eyes, nothing. Could you smile, and moves your cheeks a little. I just sat/kneeled on the ground beside you and gently rubbed your back/shoulder. Then a lady competitor stopped and checked on you and by then you started to move your eye lids a little, but couldn’t open them all the way. After about 12 or 13 minutes total, a second vehicle showed up. The two medic people that were there at that point obviously knew better what to do than me. They told me to go ahead and that they would take care of you from that point. So I reluctantly left. I’m glad you are OK!!! It was scary!
