I'm back!

10 weeks ago I broke my leg pretty good. 1 week after I broke it I had surgery. Just had my follow up and I have the green light to start walking and more importantly getting my leg back in shape and riding the bike again. With no restrictions expect "take it easy the first few months" I plan to be racing by August. Hopefully I can hit up a MTB race in late July that is around here. I've already been checking out the race schedule and I can get a decent amount of races in before the fat tire 40.

I start PT next week and am going to hit it hard. Try to build as much muscle as I can and hopefully in 3 months be in a position to have my strength be 110% of what it was when I broke it. So essentially I've got 13 weeks to get back to race shape. Game on.

Making progress

I'm now 5 weeks post op. Got the go ahead to start bending to get to full ROM. I rode the trainer once last week and could barely get my knee around the pedal. Today it was pretty much normal on the trainer. Except I can't put too much pressure on the pedals. In addition, I got entry into the Chequamegon 40 MTB race in september. So I'm going to rehab like a madman once I can bear weight and try to get to racing shape by august and try to get a top 100 finish at the 40. Hopefully the knee responds well and the huge metal plate doesn't give me trouble.
