Charlie Wittmack woke up on the asphalt of a Kazakhstan highway last weekend after being knocked unconscious when a car rear-ended his bicycle at about 40 mph.
The 33-year-old bespectacled lawyer at Des Moines, Iowa’s Davis Brown Law Firm said he suffered no serious injuries, just swelling in his right knee, hip and hand. He added the incident to the list of setbacks on his 10,000-mile attempt to complete an intercontinental journey he has dubbed the World Triathlon.
