Back update

I've finally gotten back on the bike which is good. After the fall fling road race i didn't even think of getting back on the bike until this past saturday morning. I rode for less than an hour on the bike path by my house. Took it real easy. Yesterday i rode for about an hour taking pictures and just having a good time on the bike. Today i rode for 1 1/4hrs and felt ok. Each ride i'm picking up the pace a little and it's getting better but i'm still a way from feeling normal.

This episode has been the worst one i've had in a while. Back in july when this happend at the Proving Grounds RR, i was racing again 4 days later. After a week and a half this time around there's no way i'd be racing. The main thing this does to me is affect my flexiblity in my left leg/hip. When i lay flat on my back i can raise my straightened right leg off the floor as far as i want. The left leg i can't even get past 30 degrees off the ground.

So thursday i have my first physical therapy appointment. I found a sports therapy place 1.5 miles from my house so i'm happy about that. I definately have something to do this off season. Fix the back. I'll keep posting updates.
