Surgery recovery is slow going
As most of you who know me, I'm still recovering from collarbone surgery from my crash on August 2, 2025. A jogger turned and stepped directly into my path as I was doing sprints at almost 30 mph injuring both of us. Thankfully my helmet helped save me from something worse, but I still ended up breaking my clavicle. It had about a 5cm (2") overlapping of the bone requiring surgery to set it while also adding a titanium plate and screws.
Since the accident I've tried riding with varying degrees of success and pain. My last doctor's appointment had the doctor telling me I'm not to ride outdoors until after my race on October 5th. I'm devastated by this, but at least he gave me the clearance to ride indoors.
I'm hoping my shoulder begins to heal up quickly because I don't enjoy indoor training. Once the injury begins feeling better, I will be back outside on my bike and I hope it's before the end of this year's GCC and my next race.
