Leigh Fazzina was laying on the ground, panicking. Her bike was crushed. Her helmet, which had just flown off her head, had a big dent in it. She was coughing, dry heaving, spitting up dirt. That’s when she turned to Twitter.

“I’ve had a serious injury and NEED Help! Can somone please call Winding Trails in Farmington, CT tell them I’m stuck bike crash in woods,” she tweeted at 7:05 p.m. on Tuesday.

Earlier that day, Fazzina and her cousin had entered a mini-triathlon at Winding Trails, an outdoor resort in Farmington. Fazzine, who runs a Philadelphia-based health care public relations and social media communications consultancy, took a wrong turn and headed deep into unfamiliar woods.

“When in air all I kept thinking was ‘OMG – I’m going to break my neck!’ And there is no one out here with me!,” she wrote on her Web site.

She hit the ground, and her bike struck her as she landed.
