I broke the sternum in a bicycle accident. I drove a mountain down a high, steep mountain and got the handlebars straight in the chest. I struck myself badly and I had to take me down the mountain myself with the broken breastbone and the bike in my hand. The damage caused me not to go to Iraq, even though I really wanted to. I continued to train hard for the injury to recover quickly, but it just got worse and eventually I had to quit
