First Warm Day

Its Saturday afternoon, the warmest day of the Spring 09 season and I am inside, injured, recovering,watching television, cruising the net for cycling news, planning, reading listening, passive.
My team returns from the Tour of Battenkill with mixed reviews and the mountain bike team gears up for Farmington Classic with ideal conditions expected for the race.
From what the PT & the Physician tells me it will be anywhere from 4-8 months before I can even think of sport specific training. Sure I'll be able to get on a bike in a 2-3 months BUT, get on the bike means: Flat, Low intensity-virtually none, short distances. What? It makes sense logically, considering the my injury has less than 50 documented cases in the U.S.
Physical Therapy was an eye opener. I could barely move my toes and foot in any direction. I can squeeze my toes, make incremental foot movement, barely & with great difficulty. Its little unsettling, willing a part of your body to move only to see move less than twitch of what you intended.
"This sucks." Mantra break.
This Sunday will be the first time in 13years that I will not race Farmington Classic. I've been racing Farmington since we lived in Boston in the late 90's. Too bad.
Judging from all the posting on The Tour Of Battenkill it sounded like the promoters missed a few steps from timing to course markings. Luckily I didn't race that one. I'd be pretty pissed if I paid hard earned money for a sub-par product.
Oh..what else is there to do? Start plans for next year...lol.
