Xterra South Central Championship- Waco

Well, I feel like it’s one year later, and I’m completely repeating a previous post. On April 2, 2010 I was riding my bike at Erwin Park in McKinney, TX and came around a corner and my front wheel caught on a root. That sent me flying straight into the root with my knee, and my arm scraped across the top of the root. It left me pretty bruised, swollen and bloody. Luckily my bike faired much better than I did! Here I am two weeks later and I’m still unable to run without a lot of pain. Biking is still a challenge, I’ve been keeping it to the road and flat dirt trails here in Little Rock. Swim is mostly pull (which is getting REALLY boring). I headed to the doc this week for some X-rays which showed that I am not broken. He said that I am just really bruised and could run/swim/bike as much as my pain tolerance would allow. Coach Zoe and I agreed that Waco would again be off the table for me…. second year in a row! I am going to take this extra few weeks of down time to heal and to train. I wish everyone out in Waco this weekend a fabulous race! Have a BLAST!!!!! I’ll see you all at Xterra Degray and Xterra South East Championship in Pelham, AL. 

Cheers!
