Injured Triathlete Released from Hospital

The triathlete injured in Sunday's Reston Triathlon was released from Inova Fairfax Hospital on Monday.

Police are still investigating the collision.

The rider,  Scott Smith of Chantilly, was turning from South Lakes Drive onto Ridge Heights Road to begin the approach to the bike/run transition at  South Lakes High School.

Smith was hit on Ridge Heights, was attended by medical personnel at the scene and taken by ambulance to Inova Fairfax Hospital, said Fairfax County Police Lt. T.J. Rodgers.

Smith was released from the hospital Monday. He said a CAT scan revealed a Grade III concussion.

"I was cruising into the final stretch behind bib 52 & 48 when some white car pulled into the middle and stopped, next thing I know I'm being rolled onto a board, trying to remember my name, cuts on my forehead from internal of the helmet, " Smith said in an email.

"I  heard I was like eight feet in the air.  I was out cold, and then spent an hour trying to figure out who I was, what day, why I was laying in the rain."

Smith said he would love to talk to anyone who witnessed the collision. He can be reached at scottsmithncsu88@yahoo.com, or by leaving a comment on this article.

Rodgers said the investigating officer has not yet completed the police report.
