Let the Healing Begin

We all started at the same time but.....

Gary started getting his lead right off the bat and .....

He kept it all the way to the podium!


Well after getting lectured by my Dad and wife about the danger of being 40yrs old and having a severe deep bruise on my thigh that takes up my entire thigh especially since the bruising kept spreading. Don't even ask what I dealt with when i told my parents I raced after having the injury, that was a lecture waiting to happen. Anyway the visit to the Doc proved to be exactly the waste of time I thought it would be, lets do a X-Ray, well not broke(duh! think I figured that out Sunday) here is some 800mg Ibuprofen(Army cure-all)and take it easy on the leg. Meanwhile I have a spot that giggles like I have a water balloon stuck in my thigh, gee wonder what that is? Anyway I am icing it down for a while and taking the Ibuprofen to reduce the inflammation and taking this week off of training(that will be the hardest part of healing for me I am already itching to hop on a bike). I don't feel quite so bad today on the time split between me and Gary today since he would have placed top 3 in 4 of the sport age classes with his speeds yesterday I felt like it was a deja-vu with Ron Fields last year! Anyway I will be keeping busy at work this week and then up in MI for the 4th of July so it may be a while before the next post, or ride for that matter but it looks like I will be going to Ft Mountain so if you happen to be out at the Pig Trail in July I plan on doing a lot of training out there for the season final I Will See You on the Trail!
