Surgery

I finally had surgery today to screw the broken bone fragments in my pinkie together again. It went pretty flawlessly and today marks the beginning of my official recovery from the break, which was over 4 weeks ago. I'll now be missing the US Open and the GEC race at Wisp and I'd hate to say, but might also have to opt out of the first Snowshoe race. Gotta keep positive though, and I'm looking forward to the second half of the season with 2 more Snowshoe races, random local races along the east coast, and Crankworx in August, plus the entire Collegiate race season in the fall. My DH bike hasn't seen dirt in two months, so I hope it's not too mad at me! Enjoy the races and keep the rubber side down!

Bummer

Well I've had to call off my plans to race at Massanutten this weekend due to my finger still not healing right. Its been three weeks now and its just not healing at all. I've been to 3 different doctors so far and had numerous X-rays taken already... I had no idea that a little finger would be such a pain. I'm going in to see a hand specialist tomorrow and should hopefully be good to go before the US Open. Missing Massanutten is the hardest thing right now...its what has motivated me all winter to train and its a serious blow to miss it, but I've gotta move on now and I guess its the US Open thats next on the slate. Good luck to all that are racing this weekend and have fun in the rain!
