My good friend Marian Caraballo was riding yesterday morning as part of her training for Ironman Brazil. She was run over by a car that immediately fled the scene leaving her literally lying on the road. As it happens Marian is pretty badly hurt including 2 fractured vertebrates, many stitches and lots of pain and bruising.
Accidents do happen every day and even as an accident provokes many reactions regardless of how unintentional they are, it is a different thing when the attitude towards such an accident is such as wake up your innermost fears, intolerance, and in many cases violence.
To the driver of that Clear colored Ford Expedition I tell you that you are nothing more than a piece of Shit!! Yes you are and as many people read this, some very diplomatic individuals would kindly agree that maybe this is not the way of expressing frustration. Maybe they are right but the thing is, that this is my blog and I can basically say whatever I feel like saying. Again you are nothing but a piece of SHIT!!!
It is not what happened my friend, anyone can have an accident it is your attitude towards that human being you let in the middle of the road. You are most likely hiding something that you know would be damaging to your acceptance of guilt but you know what, we, as a nation need to stop believing in the "Hay Bendito". What you did should be condemned regardless of how good a person you might think you are. In your core you are nothing more than a piece of "Shit"
As time passes your excuse will deem less acceptable to the point where you would end up as an arrogant, despicable excuse for a human being, piece of shit that has no regard for human life, family, or even your own self. I suggest that you turn yourself in and face the consequences of your actions, understand that you did not run over an animal you ran over a human being.
You know, part of me would like to find you and fuck you up real nice. But see, maybe that is just it, maybe, just maybe I have changed and it is probably because of doing what I have been doing and the people I have met and influenced me through my training and a new way of life. Including Marian.
Maybe Marian and her family are just better people than I am. I heard her father say today that a simple "I am sorry" would be sufficient for them, it will all be forgotten. I can only admire them for such a noble position. I frankly don't share on that noble nature. See I can only think about what that girl will have to endure to get back on her feet and living normally again. She will make it. No question about it, she has a lot of people in her corner and she is an Ironman which no matter how you cut them, they are special people with a particular set of mental toughness that serve well in these situations.
I think that after 48 hours you've had enough time to reconsider. So I think it is time we stop pleading with you to do the right thing and maybe start thinking that you are such a lousy piece of shit that other considerations should be taken. I guess it is civilized to just hope for you to get caught and face criminal charges. My friend there is a very remote possibility that I will ever run into you, but I can only tell you that if I ever do you will have a real bad day.
Marian is undergoing surgery right now. I have no question in my mind that my friend, the one I have always talked to you about, is there with her directing those doctors. There is only one thing I can accept and that is that Marian will be her self in a very short while. She is a fighter, strong mentally and physically, and lets us not forget a 12 hour Ironman finisher. Let us not forget her thru her healing and let us be as brave as she has been to continue to make a difference and get a little respect while we are cycling on the road. Let us all put our prayers so that Marian will once again JUMP thru the finish line of an Ironman!! Marian we are all here for you and we love you!!!!
