Last summer I started doing some road racing and was getting the fitness to make the race a race. I was pretty stoked to get a solid winter of training in then start working my way through the categories. Well, last August a pick up decided to put those plans on hold. I had a broken wrist, frozen shoulder, and knee surgery replacing my ACL, LCL and popliteus, my surgeon said they were not expecting how much of a mess my knee was when they opened, and considers my surgery the most traumatic they do, much above knee and hip replacements. I was non weight bearing for 11 weeks, then started the process of getting my fitness back. FTP is dismal to what it was 8 months ago, but as I see it tick up all i can think is, "I could hang in a pack at this power."
MTB racing is fun, but road racing is exhilarating. I've been through a lot of those emotions, having times where I wanted every F%^#ing bike out of my house, to the drive and desire to just bury myself to come back to form. My physical therapist has been amazing and kept me mentally strong. Now I just need to get my peak power back and I will be looking at doing some more racing. My wife thinks I have issues, and no self restraint.
