I also finally had my follow-up appointment with my Doctor. I was supposed to go last week, but conveniently scheduled it this week. Technically I wasn't lying when I said I was going out of town to Traverse City, I just didn't mention it was for a race!
Anyways, my Doc was really surprised at how much better my shoulder looked, minus the few bruises that are STILL there. She said after seeing me the first time, and then getting my MRI results, she was expecting to have to put me in some sort of (figure 8?) brace. But after seeing how much more mobility I have, she said just to keep doing what I've been doing. I guess it takes 6-8 weeks to completely heal, so I'm about half-way there!
The best part? She said that I could race cross this weekend! Yes! It's at Manhatten Park, which is always one of my favorite cross courses! Hopefully I'll get some pictures. I'm about as graceful as an elephant going over the barriers, and I'm sure it's going to be much worse now that I'm going to be carrying my bike with one hand :-)
It's probably a good thing that training is on the down-low for the next week or two. I am still finalizing sponsorship stuff for next year, and this blog needs a major makeover at some point. I've done over 15 races this summer, and there's not one result up!
In the meantime, here's a great article about 24 hour racing. Read it!
And I posted this on FB, but here it is again....a small glimpse of what Iceman is like!
PS. I should not be interviewed before races. I'm always so excited/nervous that I talk even faster then normal...ha ha!
