Two years have passed since the last. I\u2019m in the Feed Zone, where coaches and parents hand bottles and food to riders during the race.

As she heads towards a feeder with her arm extended ready to receive, she bobbles the bottle and hits the dirt. Damn. I had one job. I walk over (Feed Zone Rule 10.10: No running in the feed zone) and before I help, she rises above the dust, phoenix, and was like:<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI took my eyes off the bottle, that\u2019s why I dropped it and crashed.
