Training Log Archive: 'Bent

Out for a ride in Palgrave East. I still have to stick to doubletrack and spin small gears. I also changed my right pedal for a platform with a Powergrip, so my climbing's even worse but I can rotate freely. (Thanks Bash)
So good to be off the trainer and on the trails.

Workout #3

Ahh, back on the bike. Great sunrise.

Yes! Out of the van and back on the bike! Had to detour around massive regrading of the former fields of my commute.

As much of the link workout as my knee, shoulder and neck would allow, plus some kneehab.

Threw my neck out yesterday while drying my hair with a towel, of all things.
Great, yet another old injury back to haunt me.

Hiked home from work with trekking poles.
I even did an old-man jog on about 1km of road, and it wasn't too bad. So-o-o great to be commuting under my own steam again and leaving the Bullfrog van behind.

Luckily, the lovely LeAnimal and the even lovelier Thumbs-of Death both had appointments today and worked on my neck, so it was tolerable.

Had my appointment with the Orthopedic Surgeon today.
See Bash's log. Bottom line- No permanent damage, no surgery needed but it could be a fairly long recovery, and the winter race is probably out.

I got the green light to do moderate exercise on it again, as long as it doesn't hurt. Woo-hoo!

Started watching the 00 TDF

Workout #1 + most of the Core workout that doesn't involve lateral force on my broken leg.
