Glad that you are ok. Engine seizures/failures are a frustrating way to end a race.

For relative values of OK - right collarbone/shoulder/4 ribs, right knee ACL (fortunately micro tears, not snapped) and a traumatic brain injury (big bleed). I had lowsided the previous round after losing the front and that was fine, you slide along the track, controlling the fall and slide. In the last one was pitched head first into the track, knocked out and got severely rag dolled.
Maybe you should find a different sport...
Splashing about in reef breaks off the south coast is a lot a fun .. and water's soft, right?
