Minor setback with major results

I've finally been cleared for lazer eye surgery. My eyes are really screwed up and I've been forced to wear contacts that are not very well suited for the things I do. Every time I've gone on an XC ride my contacts have messed up(moved, gotten blurry, or just fallen out). I've done very few downhill runs where my contacts haven't bothered me in some way and have finished more than a handful of race runs with one eye closed. If you can't see the trail its hard to make yourself go fast! Lasik eye surgery is the solution and I'll be getting it done this summer. Shouldn't miss too many races, but I'll probably have to sit July out from racing all together. I'm gonna wait until after the first Snowshoe race and the first race at Beech the following weekend, then go for it. I can't wait! Who knows what it'll be like to see the trail!
