Sarah Crowley crashes her bike

[@benhanzen2732]

An old man hit me with his car earlier today while I was on a bike training session. Just watched your video from the hospital. Thanks for the inspiration;) ! All the best with the recovery!

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Hi Ben, focus on what you can do not what you can’t. Soon enough things improve and by doing even the smallest things you will progress faster. All the best for your recovery ❤️‍🩹 sorry to hear. Take care

[@ashleywilliams8122]

I spent about ten minutes at that dismount line. There were so many crashes. Not only is the dismount line in an awkward spot, it's also really narrow. You're a tough cookie, Sarah!

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Crikey didn’t realise what was going on behind me!

[@jasonmitchell8778]

It was great to be there watching an athlete of your calibre on the day. Shame about the crash, but great job on finishing the race like you did 🔨🔨🔨

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Hope you had a great day. It’s a fun race, but I guess accidents happen. I’ll be ok. Thanks 😊 all the best

[@kurtoleolsson6821]

Get well soon Sarah! All the best from Germany!!!

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Thanks Kurt 😊❤️‍🩹

[@ironman140.6]

Sarah, I hope you feel better and wish you a speedy recovery - ouch! that looked very painful. I so admire you.

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

It hurt so much haha but it’s healed now wooooo on to Cairns 🦾🦾

[@jcoombe100]

Just watched this Sarah - I’m just a humble AGer but fwiw I had my best result at Kona after cracking a rib. I’d been training super hard and it forced me to dial back the intensity and just go aerobic for the last few weeks. Hope it all heals well and see you in Cairns (I’ll just be spectating this one)

[@wsbygt]

Its a tough place to have injuries as breathing and wide arm movements are painfull. Best and fast recovery!! Cheers!!

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Thanks 🙏🏻 it’s been tough but we are managing 🦾

[@robertkelly28]

Recover well Sarah !! This is your season. Go get em !!!

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Naw thanks so much 😊

[@michaelcallaghan4336]

maaaate! just had my second crash of the year, and a separated shoulder, and I feel your pain (plus my own)!

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Oh damn that sucks. All the best for your recovery ❤️‍🩹

[@paulsmith1552]

Really hope your recovery goes well. Wishing you all the best.

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Thanks, so far so good. Improving day by day. Mostly need to be patient with the swimming 🏊‍♀️.

[@filomenaepic]

Recover well Champ! That's not for any ordinary Jane what you're going through, it's pure perseverance and willing to go all in! Best of luck!

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Just have to keep moving forward 💥

[@MR-wh5wp]

Man, this is why im such a big fan of yours. So tough & nothing gonna stop you 💥

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Thanks M R! Hopefully this won’t stop me and I’ll power through 🦾🦾🦾

[@jamieparr6962]

You're a tough bugger, Sarah! Looks like your very positive mindset after suffering this unfortunate injury is going to make you even stronger! All the very best for an awesome season, mate 💪

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Thanks Jamie. Got to stay positive. If you think to much past what you can do you can end up spiralling 🌀

[@jamieparr6962]

@@SarahCrowleyOfficial Great attitude, Sarah 👍

[@alisontriathlonlover]

Wishing you a speedy recovery 💐 Alison big fan from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Oh thanks and I miss Switzerland!! maybe I’ll train there next year

[@bexfear4930]

I hope you recover quickly and in time for Cairns. It was awesome seeing you at moreton bay (as you passed me on the bike) and I hope to see you again at Cairns - also passing me on the bike.

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Thanks Bex we are working really hard on optimising everything to be as ready as I can be! All the best for these last few weeks of preparation. 🦾

[@verideaux3250]

I raced the shorter distance tri that day. Was great to see you supporting a local age group event for your Cairns preparations. Had no idea you crashed which makes your run even more incredible. All the best for Cairns.

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

It’s such a nice race and so close to home. Just a shame it had this little hiccup! Hope you had a great day.

I have all my rips broken and i can imagine what pain you are going through…. very tough to keep on training, which i can not yet after 5 weeks….

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Oh no 🥺 that sounds terrible. Reach out when you start back training for some tips. I recommend keeping everything indoor and also using a snorkel swimming. It has really helped.

[@rmjames83]

My gosh Sarah! Ur made of incredibly tough stuff-but we already knew that!! Man, I felt winded watching that crash! All the absolute best for ur recovery & for Cairns-it certainly sounds like things are heading in the best direction they could be! I can totally relate to feeling the damage after all is said & done-one of the times I came off the bike in a race I didn’t realise I had done a collar bone til they took me to get all of the gravel scrubbed out of my skin😂

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Thanks Rachel, it was a nasty one. Staying strong 💪🏻 for Cairns

[@gourami7]

Wow that bloody painful landing on the basebar like that, especially after racing so carefully Hope you can make up for it with winning Cairns, good luck Sarah No more short course stuff !

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Cheers Charles, yeah super painful. But I’m back up and in action now. Every day is getting better. I’m actually surprised how quickly it’s improving. I’m confident I’ll be good to go!!

[@valejul]

Get well soon!

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Thanks 😊 🙏🏻

[@CoolInOlympia]

Ohhhhhhhhh bummer!

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

I’m ok. Bruised and battered but ok. Thanks 🙏🏻

[@noelmulkey0]

Gosh that looked AWEFUL

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Hey Noel 👋🏻 yeah it was a real nasty one 😬 Hope to see you in Cairns 🥳

[@noelmulkey0]

@@SarahCrowleyOfficial I’ll be there 🤩🤩🤩!!!

[@eitanshushu]

wow that looked painful and you kept going. tough auzzie.

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Thanks, it really did hurt but sometimes you just know it will be ok to keep going. Other times you need to pull the pin.

[@KavanOBrien]

Rain and weather = funny, do you really save that much time taking your shoes off a few seconds earlier, we need to chat about that one sister, part of winning anything in life is knowing when to = hardest thing to do in life is the ability to take a step back from oneself and look outside in rather than always looking from inside out, can you do Cannes of course you CAN, sorry dying is easy comedy is hard, titanium bike in the future, song for the video = I’m still standing = Elton John.

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

😊

[@Amanda_K_001]

Why don't you do any PTO racing? Just curious...heal up!

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Hi Amanda! I was last year but since then the races have clashed with my Ironman preparation. It’s so hard to turn on the speed in a big Ironman block which I discovered at Edmonton last year. Lead pack in the swim and an epic fail for the rest of the race. Next year I plan to do a few more. Good question it’s a hard balance.

[@KavanOBrien]

Yoga breathing will help , I wonder if you do them ?

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Yeah my physio just taught me box breathing. It’s helping a lot. Thanks

[@10789macca]

Ouch! It looked like your disc brakes played a part of the crash.

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Nah I just hit the disc with my Knee. It was 100% the shoe lol

[@rolandrenteria7827]

Weak bones, they should not break by a little fall like that. Sad that it happened to you.

[@SarahCrowleyOfficial]

Mate my T-score is checked regularly and it’s better than average for my age. I was almost empaled by the base bar so I’m feeling pretty lucky it wasn’t worse.
