One Expensive T-shirt

This weekend marks the second time this year I have entered a race and not been able to do it. The first race was Victoria's Du which I couldn't do because of a pinched nerve in my neck. This time, I strained a quad muscle; my vastus medialis to be exact. I am not sure how I did it, but it happened at some point on my 6+ hour ride yesterday. It was about the 4 hour mark when I noticed it and it got progressively worse. Almost to the point where I didn't think I'd make it back to the car. I thought it was my knee so I was really upset. I could barely walk after I got off the bike.
