<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Winning the BME season opener and my final 2017 races in Mexico was a great way to end a race career.</span><br />

Living on the road while training and racing was an amazing experience.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The ability to race XC World Cups and XC/Marathon World Championships, live in Cyprus, England, Spain, Italy, Germany, Czech Republic, and South Africa for extended periods of time and visit Canada, Mexico, Peru, Switzerland, France, and Austria can't be beaten. I was ranked 5th in the USA for pro-XC women in 2011 and made the Olympic long team in 2012. Who could ask for more??? I owe all this to my sponsors, friends, and family. </span><strong style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Thank you!!</strong></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I received this offer while on a bus in Oaxaca when we received a bit of cell service. See my <b><a href="http://kristarust.blogspot.com/2018/05/bucket-lists-peru-biking-and-mexico.html" target="_blank">Peru Biking and Mexico 2 x 3-day enduro races post</a>.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We were in-between race runs on a dirt road that was never-ever designed for a bus. It was so foreign and difficult to comprehend a full-time Engineering position 3-weeks into living out of bags in Peru and Mexico, moving almost every day to who-knows-where, with who-knows-which-guys, shuttling DH trails as fast as possible all day every day followed by sitting around drinking beer while talking about riding trails as fast as possible. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Turns out this is actually the perfect job opportunity with plenty of time to travel, play on bikes, provide skills coaching and clinics.</span></div>

It's about time for group rides to start up in Durango. As soon as this last snow disappears we should be good-to-go. The Sedona MTB Festival had everyone getting bikes dialed for the year and the time change has everyone ready to ride.<br />
<br />
Huge thanks to Osprey Packs for sponsoring the Sedona skills sessions again!! The first year of the festival I was the only one providing clinics and it caught on, this year there were many skills clinics and sessions to choose from. I brought<span style="font-size: 15px;"></span><span style="font-size: 15px;"> two other Durango coaches with me, Lee Pausan and Ziggy Lanman were so fun to work with and allowed us to split into manageable size groups for better skill-based learning.</span><br />

<strong>Racing and Travel</strong><br />
I ended a great race season with an amazing October-December. Well an amazing year really, I won the Big Mountain Enduro Season Opener in Santa Fe and my final two 3-day races in Mexico.<br />
<br />
<strong>Oct 7th:</strong> 3rd in Final Angel Fire Fire 5 DH race<br />
<strong>Oct 15th:</strong> NICA Highschool Skills Clinics in Phoenix, AZ for 20 kids<br />
<strong>Oct 19th:</strong> Flew to Peru to ride for 8 days with <a href="http://www.perubiking.com/en/" style="color: #2baadf; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">PeruBiking.com</a>. I can't wait to put a crew together to go back! A Peru tour with skills clinics would be sweet!<br />
<br />

The guys went back out after I left and put this video together.<br />

Peru Biking guides are dialed, they picked me up from the airport and provided housing at their guide house. Their drivers shuttled us on ~3 trails a day. We rode from 14000+ feet to the Sacred and Southern Valleys (~9000ft) never riding the same route twice. One day we rode the Inca Avalanche course, it's a really tame trail when it isn't a mass-start race in the snow. There were other trails where I was worried; wet, mossy, and steep free-riding. It's an amazing area! There were no mountain biking purpose-built trails, no trail maps or signage; we rode old Inca trails and those used by the Andes people today. It definitely required a guide.</div>

<strong>1st! </strong>This was a rough one, I dislocated my front brake finger by 100 degrees or more at the lowest knuckle on day one. Mind over matter wasn't enough, I had to race taped up and on painkillers. These trails are ROUGH, no holding onto the bars and breaking with the middle finger here.<br />

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">
2017 was another busy and fun-filled year!<br />
<br />
<strong>#Vanlife</strong><br />
While still based out of Durango I lived out of the van while on the road. Vanlife is a blast and adding gear to the van is part of the fun. This year I installed solar panels with a 40amp MPPT controller and monocrystalline panels (one rigid and one flex). Lots to learn here: <a href="https://www.renogy.com/renogy-200-watt-12-volt-solar-starter-kit-w-mppt-charge-controller/" style="color: #2baadf; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">RENOGY</a>.<br />

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">
<br />
I also added a Smittybuilt 12,000 lb waterproof winch with synthetic line and wireless remote control.<br />
<br />
There is no receiver made for the front of my van but I wanted to be able to move the winch from front to back depending on how I got myself stuck. I found a hitch receiver that was close enough and ordered it to Crested Butte.<br />
<br />
While camping alone, outside of cell (youtube) range, in the woods of Crested Butte I drilled holes into the van frame, fished nuts via welded wires, used bottle jacks to support the receiver and mounted the receiver, winch cradle and winch while being eaten alive by biting flies and mosquitoes. It looks amazing but I haven't got myself stuck since. With the wireless remote, I will be able to steer the van while controlling the winch.<br />

I got to do an afternoon clinic with Krista in Tucson a few weeks ago and she helped me tremendously with advanced technical skills.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Thanks Krista Rust for the awesome skills clinic! Pretty amazing to go from walking down lower Milagrosa to comfortably riding the whole thing after just a couple of hours of fundamentals. Just goes to show that even us "old dogs" can pick up a trick or two from someone that really knows what they are doing.</span><br />

Turns out his bike set up was not inspiring confidence and was making cornering more difficult. We also worked on weighting the bars to corner, weighting the tires enough for traction and looking through the turn, common things we all need to practice. As soon as all this was put together correctly it made a huge difference, he was smooth, flowy, and able to save energy to pedal elsewhere, instead of out of each corner.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ideally, we will have a specific focus for a private lesson. From the above examples I'd say drops and cornering first, uphill techy climbing next, then apply all that in rocky terrain. But we should focus on what is the most appealing to you</span></div>

Racing in Mexico with Trail Quest - Worldwide Mountain Bike Tour<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Traveling, touring and racing in Mexico was an amazing experience. For those who may be interested in creating a similar trip, I have documented what I really enjoyed, who to contact and ways I could have been better prepared. ...since I really didn't prepare at all, that last step wouldn't take much.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">With a three week break in my race/event/clinic schedule, I was able to head to Mexico Oct 24th-Nov 17th to race two enduro races and play tourist. With no time or knowledge with which to plan, I depended on Trail Quest to sort out all the details and guide me on great trails.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Tour Guides</b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As a mountain bike vacation for any mountain biker, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/travelmountainbike/?ref=page_internal">Trail Quest - Worldwide Mountain Bike Tours</a> is highly recommended. Their local knowledge and skill level along with a flexible structure allows them to offer pre-built or custom packages.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <b><span style="font-family: inherit;">My Plans </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Race these two 2016 races</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Oct 29th and 30th Day-of-the-Dead-Enduro outside Oaxaca, Mexico </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nov 12th and13th BME Sierra Madre Enduro in Moscato, Mexico</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As most of the USA BME racers would vacation in Sayulita before flying home, I planned to fly into Oaxaca and out of Puerto Vallarta. Trail Quest would provide all transportation from Oaxaca to Mascota (Oct 24th-Nov 8th). USA racers were to be at the BME race so I planned to travel with them for the rest of the trip. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b><b>My Trip</b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Only a few hours after finishing up the three-day TORCA Pachanga Festival in Tucson, AZ I packed my bike and headed to the airport on a 3am shuttle not knowing what to expect. I would be traveling alone until the second race.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Flying a new-to-me airline is always interesting, Interjet from Mexico City to Oaxaca was extremely impressive, clean and new, no bike bag fee and free tequila. Trail Quest hired a driver to pick me up at the Oaxaca airport. It was a one hour drive out of the city and up a narrow winding dirt road to a little village where the rest of the folks were staying in cabins. I can't speak Spanish and the driver didn't speak English so we listened to each other and smiled. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">It was a lot colder than I had expected, riding temperatures were perfect with a jacket, but night temperatures were very cold. I used as many Mexican blankets as I could and we built fires in the cabins to stay warm at 2,000-3,000 meters above sea level. I had expected a town, a place to buy anything I forgot to pack, or in this case a warmer jacket. We were in a little village of ecotourism, a self-sufficient little village without typical stores.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Trail Quality:</b> Each tour is built to accommodate the style of bike, terrain, and trail you prefer. The enduro trails we rode in the Oaxaca, Mexico area were amazing. We were shown trail systems in three different areas, moving lodging each day and only riding each trail once. As our group was comprised mostly of enduro racers, we were shuttled to trails with minimum pedaling. Only on the third day did we pre-ride the Oaxaca Day-of-the-Dead Enduro Race trails, on the fourth day we raced. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Alvero, </span>Mauricio<span style="font-family: inherit;"> and Santiago are very skilled riders with great personalities. The tour felt more like an outing with friends. Chasing each other down the trail, following them off jumps, working on bikes together and celebrating with dinner and drinks at night was much more exciting than a typical mountain bike tour.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It would have been extremely difficult, if not impossible, for us to put together this experience alone. Had we been able to find maps of the trails, hire drivers, plan routes, hire guides and acquire lodging, it would have been much more expensive and taken many times as long to execute, not to mention the time required for planning prior to travel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">The cost is extremely reasonable so my recommendation is not to skimp on the fees, comfortable accommodations after long days on the bike are worth it. Relaxing and letting someone else figure it all out is worth every penny.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">However, there are budget plans available for someone such as myself.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Planning</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The flexibility Trail Quest offers its clients means they may not have specific details on addresses or trail routes too far ahead of time. With so many options for trails and accommodations they try to remain fluid, enabling them to make changes based on the client’s skills and preferences.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">For the detailed planner, this may be a little hard to grasp so talk with your guides. Every evening ask for the next day’s plans while realizing they may change due to weather, everyone’s energy level, etc. It was amazing to have local skilled riders as guides, not only show us the local trails but also the local culture. I would love to go back and ride each of those trails again and meet up with all the friends I made. It was not your typical tourist vacation, but something special.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">After four days of riding, including participating in the Day-of-the-Day Enduro Race we moved to a hotel in Oaxaca City to spend the Day-of-the-Dead festival days as non-bike tourists. Staying within walking distance of the festivities, bars and restaurants at the plaza meant we could shop, eat and rest as we pleased.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This ended the guided tour, I then spent a week in Mexico City, but didn't see much and didn't get a chance to ride. Everyone was busy catching up on laptops. Alvero then drove me to Sayalita to meet up with the USA racers.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The first day there we went on a "Jungle Spin", no pads, Alvero didn't even wear a t-shirt.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The bartender showed me a trick to alleviate pain. He put a red tablecloth behind my neck and had me alternate pulling on each side. The rubbing on the back of the neck must interrupt signals going to the brain or something, it worked.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Turns out I dislocated the collarbone behind the clavicle. It popped itself back later that day but was more painful than a broken collarbone. Soft tissue damage is the worst, it still hurts and it's been two months now.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">On the painful ride from Sayalita to Mascota. Thanks to the guys for taking care of me!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Once in Mascota, I crept down a few stages for a pre-ride, still not sure why I would want to try racing. But I have an entire summer of experience racing with a broken collarbone that wouldn't heal and those compensation techniques kicked in. Luckily I had brought real pain killers that I know I can race on. Sleeping or laying down was so painful that I figured I may as well ride. I ended up racing really well and am so glad I went for it. The trails were fun, especially the last stage!</span><br />

I got to do an afternoon clinic with Krista in Tucson a few weeks ago and she helped me tremendously with advanced technical skills.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Thanks Krista Rust for the awesome skills clinic! Pretty amazing to go from walking down lower Milagrosa to comfortably riding the whole thing after just a couple of hours of fundamentals. Just goes to show that even us "old dogs" can pick up a trick or two from someone that really knows what they are doing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- <b>Visiting Town.</b> Three international travelers (two men and a woman of various skill levels) wanted to hit the ground running when they flew into town. They requested a basic trail overview and route recommendations in addition to a 3-hour a day skills session on various trails. Skill work in the morning and more riding on their own in the afternoon, they were in town for four days and made the most of it.</span>

One client was headed back to Moab where her goal was to ride the Whole Enchilada without walking anything, we achieved that goal. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Small drops are important <i><b>even if you never want to "go off drops"</b></i>, it is all about weighting and driving the bike while keeping the front wheel light, a skill used in many situations. </span></div>

Turns out his bike set up was not inspiring confidence and was making cornering more difficult. We also worked on weighting the bars to corner, weighting the tires enough for traction and looking through the turn, common things we all need to practice. As soon as all this was put together correctly it made a huge difference, he was smooth, flowy, and able to save energy to pedal elsewhere, instead of out of each corner.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>- Rocks.</b> In Durango I like the Ridge, even just Blackdirt down has rocks to play on. Tucson and Sedona are great for rock work as well.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ideally, we will have a specific focus for a private lesson. From the above examples I'd say drops and cornering first, uphill techy climbing next, then apply all that in rocky terrain. But we should focus on what is the most appealing to you. </span></div>

Huge thank you to Dr. Hammond at <a href="http://animasorthopedics.com/about/dr-hammond.php" target="_blank">Animas Orthopedics</a>, who knew you could fit an ACL and meniscus surgery into the off-season?

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">No memorizing rules, every corner may need a slightly different application of skills. Why is this body position so drastically different than the first photo? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Skills clinics let us practice skills, gaining a better understanding of what each shift in weight and change of position does for us. Nothing beats feeling comfortable and confident letting our body and bike move around to eat up whatever the trail throws at us.</span><br />

Anthony continues to overhaul and custom tune suspension between races and I have switched gears a bit from Devo, clinics and team management prep work to more traveling and racing.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I just received a new camera from <a href="http://reelcameras.com/">reelcameras.com</a>, I am excited to try it out! Here are a few things we use helmet cameras for besides watching our own fun rides. Phones are great, but not as convenient as a helmet cam. With the right camera it is easy to set by a trail feature to record your form then</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> review footage on the trail or during a clinic</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A lot of photos I post are screen captures of helmet cam video taken during clinics, festivals or our own rides. Plus we can contribute to produced videos with our own POV footage.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You do lose the ability to quickly change the chainring on the trail since you have to pull the crank to change the chainring. It's a super-quick job, but you need to have a larger allen wrench than I typically carry on the trail.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pictured below the SRM is the normal XX1 spider and chainring. SRM utilizes a 110 BCD so the the XX1 chainring will not fit. A Wolftooth or Race Face wide-narrow chainring is used instead and a 30tooth ring is the smallest that will fit on the SRM spider.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ask any endurance athlete what their biggest fear is and most will answer the same muscle cramps and stomach problems on race day. It’s the endurance athlete’s paradox; you need calories and liquids for optimal performance but that same fuel and liquid plus intense physical activity (especially in the heat) has the potential to wreak havoc on your body and ruin your day. Crush your fear and crush your race with RocketLytes unique formulation of cramp killing electrolytes and stomach soothing peppermint and ginger.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Suggested usage: Take 2 capsules every 30-60 minutes of exercise or anytime you need to replenish your electrolyte levels or calm your stomach.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">INGREDIENTS:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><a href="http://www.raxterracks.com/" target="_blank">Raxter</a> Bike Racks:</b> Simply the best I've used, especially for shuttling. No having to slide trays forward or back. Place the bike so it doesn't interfere with the one next to it and the arms pivot to wherever that is. Straps hold the wheels and you are done. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If it works for DH bike + Diaz drifting turns in the jeep it'll work for everyone.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">See van picture above to see the step-up design, This avoids dragging the bike rack when going through a dip. Smart. The 4-bike rack is actually a 2-bike rack with a 2-bike add-on, making it easy to change up. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used my first Raxter rack for 7 years and it still works great. It's been backed into a couple things and been hit, but I'd just bend it back and it was good to go. See 2009 review here: http://kristapark.blogspot.com/2009/05/reviews-bike-rack-brakes-grips.html</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really like the <i><u>Extreme lube</u></i>; especially the sample size because it's easy to carry in a pack for long days of creek crossings, or to share with other folks whose chain lube wears too quickly.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: lime;">Rev</span> packs with their chest harness system are the best for all-mountain riding with a minimal pack. Or, for riding with a broken collarbone or sore back... Since, for the smaller packs, there is no weight felt on the low back, no weight on the shoulder straps, and no pack shifting to knock the back of your head on steep descents. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The harness hugs the pack to your ribs so the pack moves with the ribcage, no bouncing or twisting. Also the packs are shorter than normal so if you have jersey pockets you can still access those.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Second to the Rev </span><o:p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></o:p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I like the women's <a href="http://www.ospreypacks.com/en/group/womens_1_1/raven_series" target="_blank">Raven 6</a> (the hip pockets are great) and <a href="http://www.ospreypacks.com/en/group/womens_1_1/verve_series" target="_blank">Verve 5</a> on the bike. The <a href="http://www.ospreypacks.com/en/group/multi-use_mens/talon_series" target="_blank">Talon 22</a> is an awesome general pack and favorite of my bikepacker friends. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Porter is another gear bag, but with more structured walls/not as collapsible as the Transporter line.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On a personal note, I love Osprey Packs for their involvement in the community. Utilizing athletes for skills clinics, supporting community events and hiring athletic employees results in designed-by-outdoor-enthusiasts/athletes-for-</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">outdoor-enthusiasts</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">/athletes products</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One example, Durango Devo coaches are given Osprey packs to carry essentials. Packs were filled with a first aid kit, tools and tubes before being distributed to the coaches. Each coach then adds from experience, extra powerbar blasts for those who forgot to eat since breakfast, a jacket for the one who insisted they were fine leaving their parent's car in cloudy 50 degree weather, etc. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My cousin Mahina offered her <a href="https://www.advocare.com/14068779/default.aspx" target="_blank">Advocare</a> product to me, she was curious to see what I thought of it. I am asked to try a lot of magic supplements and find it fun, but usually I finish the free product and decide that while I might take it if it was given to me I wouldn't pay for it. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yep. I like<span style="text-align: center;"> the Performance Elite line for amino acids and protein powder, I also like the one-stop shopping of the Well line. (<i>please use Distributer # </i></span><i><b>14068779</b> when ordering</i>)</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>From the <a href="https://www.advocare.com/14068779/Store/CatalogView.aspx?id=B" target="_blank">Performance Elite</a> line</i>: Bio Charge amino acids and <b>PRO-20 (20 gram protein shooters) are my favorite</b>, I also like Muscle Gain for a protein powder at "home". I'm looking forward to trying O2 Gold when I get back to cardio workouts in the Spring.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: center;">At first the website felt overwhelming. I would tell someone reading this blog post to start by looking at the Performance Elite line and for vitamins, minerals or items you would purchase from a drug store go to the Well line. Or calling/messaging my cousin. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: center;">After using the Advocare products for a month or two I am now conditioned to look at their website for products before purchasing elsewhere.</span><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><span style="text-align: center;">For example with everyone having colds right now, I looked for a Vit C/zinc product and found the CitriZink chews. I also found Calcium and Joint ProMotion.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: center;">Basically you can find any item you are searching for and see if it is Informed Choice approved as each item is labeled. The entire Performance Elite line is labeled Informed Choice approved.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span><i>("The INFORMED-CHOICE program adheres to regulations put forth by <b>WADA</b>, and NCAA as well as professional sports organizations including the National Football League, Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League, Major League Soccer, PGA, ATP, WTA, LPGA, and NASCAR.")</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Advocare has a <a href="https://www.advocare.com/products/challenge.aspx" target="_blank">24-day Challenge</a>. It's a kickstart to paying attention to your diet while learning about some of the products they sell.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can <a href="https://www.advocare.com/14068779/Store/24Wizard/default.aspx" target="_blank">custom build your own challenge</a>. For example, I would choose the following for my own 24-day challenge: </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Peaches and Cream Cleanse, MNS3 and Catalyst</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We were also given rain jackets, road helmets, gloves, arm and leg warmers and XC Fury shoes. Yes we could have made do with just enduro gear, but it was REALLY nice to have more streamline gear for road riding. Especially since group road rides are basically underground road races.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For hike-a-bike, the stickiness of the rubber lets you scramble slick rock faces and if in sand or rubble the ankle cuffs keep debris out. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When racing, they feel the same as the <a href="http://www.mavic.us/footwear-mtb-fury#.VGwInfnF98E" target="_blank">XC Fury</a>, the top-of-the-line XC race shoe (now my "road shoe"). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The only thing we ran into was that we wanted more ratchets on the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">retention. We couldn't always get the shoe as tight as we would have liked. Anthony got a size smaller then took his shoe to a ski boot shop, warmed the shoe (in a waterproof bag) in a crockpot of warm water then used a tool to stretch the toebox a bit, perfect.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mavic wind and rain jackets are perfect, the <a href="http://www.mavic.us/apparel-men-mtb-jackets-crossmax-h2o-jacket-1#.VGwdcvnF98E" target="_blank">Crossmax H20 Jacket </a> even has zippers which open to release more fabric creating space for wearing over an Osprey pack, even has routing for the hydration hose. The <a href="http://www.mavic.us/apparel-women-jackets-cloud-jacket-1#.VGwc4fnF98E" target="_blank">women's Cloud jacket</a> is a great fit and takes up a tiny amount of space.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't actually run road pedals/shoes but use the <a href="http://www.mavic.us/pedals-mtb-crossmax-sl#.VGwGYvnF98E" target="_blank">Crossmax SL</a> pedals on my road bike. Diaz ran <a href="http://www.mavic.us/pedals/road" target="_blank">Zxellium Elite </a>road pedals. After a season of riding said he would prefer a little more retention which I would guess is available with the higher end pedals.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Looking for the new van I called Tim at <a href="http://denverfleet.com/" target="_blank">DenverFleet</a> (recommended by my friend <a href="http://elfreakofromrico.blogspot.com/">http://elfreakofromrico.blogspot.com/</a>) to describe the van I was looking for, 4x4 or AWD, used, cargo, and something I can put a pop-top on. Within a week or two Tim found the perfect van, 2010 Chevy Express AWD cargo, I purchased it based on photos/emails only.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why buy NoTubes rims? Tires seat up tubeless on a NoTubes rim easier than any other rims I have tried. While racing cross-country (XC) I carried a handpump on every flight and set up new tires in hotel rooms in South Africa, Cyprus, Europe and Canada. Having or finding an air compressor, or even traveling with a floorpump, wasn't an option so I sure didn't want rims that required one.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now that we are racing enduro and <span style="text-align: center;">riding bike parks, my main concern (in addition to easy setup) is running rims that won't let the tires burp, or worse yet, peel off the rim. See the details on <a href="http://www.notubes.com/literature/BST.pdf" target="_blank">Bead Socket Technology</a> (BST) and why the NoTubes design is best for speed, cornering and more.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: center;">If something goes really wrong and I slam into a rock hard enough that something must fail, I like that to be a small dent in the rim while the wheel and tire are still holding air (no burp, no snakebite in the tire) and such that I will not have an issue setting up the next tire. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: center;">In enduro racing you can change tires between runs but not rims. Rims need to be light enough to race and reliable enough to get you through an entire race weekend.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 27.5" Turner Burner is the best all-around bike! It can climb more efficiently and descend more playfully and with more control than other bikes of similar spec. The climbing efficiency is due to good geometry and the DW link design. The best part of this bike stems from the fact that owner/designer David Turner gets riders. We don't all like the same headtube angle or the same amount of travel, so he designed a bike that everyone will find to be perfect... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before ever riding a Turner I saw an Interbike video of David describing his bikes. I loved how he designed the frames to be versatile and he seemed to be truly knowledgeable and inventive, David was not just repeating the latest marketing jargen. He spec'd the Burner headtube angle based on a 140 to 160mm travel fork and allowed for the use of an angleset. Usually the marketing of a new frame is that it is perfect out of the box, but then you either like it or you don't. Or, the rider doesn't know any better and their ride is limited by the bike.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ride style, body positioning and other factors decide what is perfect for each rider. For me (5'5") the perfect setup is: small Burner, 160 DSD modified Pike (see future post), 50mm stem, 720mm bars and an angleset to slacken it a bit more. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Broken collar bone or not, riding bikes is a blast! It took approximately four months for my clavicle to start healing the final break. In that time I held clinics, rode all but one of the 2014 Big Mountain Enduro events, and pre-rode both the Winter Park and Whistler Enduro World Series events (but did not line up for the actual races) in addition to joining local rides/events as we traveled the race circuit. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After having a blast racing only enduro races last year I decided to build a team for 2015. The process began by joining forces with Anthony Diaz and his frame sponsor Turner Suspension Bicycles. Anthony had me ride one of his bikes last Fall and I was immediately a better, faster rider. It is impressive what a slacker headtube angle, pedal efficiency of the DW Link and a lower bottom bracket can do.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Moving out of the 40' Itasca Horizon motorhome (which is now for sale) took all winter, it's amazing how much property you can store in that "house". The VW Eurovan sold and I purchased a new/used van. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was a great process. Thanks to Jeff Hemperley I contacted Tim at <a href="http://denverfleet.com/">DenverFleet.com</a> who found a used Chevy Express AWD cargo van with shelving. Tim drove the vehicle to Derek at <a href="http://coloradocampervan.com/">ColoradoCamperVan.com</a> where they cut the roof off, installed a huge powered pop-top (with fantastic fan, LED lights, bed, roof rack) and insulated the entire van. Derek took the van to <a href="http://pgiwraps.com/">pgiWRAPS.com</a> where they did the artwork and wrap. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I couldn't be happier! A 4-bike Raxter rack, ARB fridge, 150mAh of Optimum Blue Top batteries, inverter, shelving, curtains and additional LED lighting completed the package. I'll upload a video of the interior soon.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Right as the race season was set to begin I broke my clavicle on a non-technical section of trail, going really fast and cutting too close to a trunk of a bush. In my defense the bush had been trimmed so much that the trunk was at the very outside edge where I expected flexible branches... Nevertheless I had surgery and expected a quick recovery. The gap between the bones is still there, even though bone graft material was used in the surgery. I sat out for a bit and watched Diaz use all the new gear.</span><br />

Only body damage is normal dents and scratches, can provide close up photos, mostly from leaning mountain bikes against the van.

It has not been driven or stored in salty/snowy areas. 231,000 miles, mostly highway as I do not commute for a "real" job, but travel from state to state for events. This has been an amazing van and the only reason I am selling it is that I am getting a bigger cargo van as a team race van.<br /><br />New transmission was installed 05-02-08. It was checked over by the VW dealer in Albuquerque, NM last week, everything looks great. Originally VW claimed the transmission fluid was "good for life", that turned out not to be the case and people (including me) ended up having to get their transmissions rebuilt. Since then VW has changed the recommendation to ~40-50,000 miles, this seems to have solved the problem.<br /><br />Reverse facing chairs have been stored since 2003 and I will get those shipped out when the van sells. Carpets and rear bench seat have been covered since the vehicle was new to preserve re-sale value.<br /><br />Canvas on pop-top has holes at the rear due to my forgetting to tuck it in so subjecting a small portion to sun damage. I have a quote for new canvas installed, $1000. It wasn't worth it to me to get it fixed.</span></td></tr>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Better late than never? Last year's blog post so I can start blogging 2013 and my switch from XC to Enduro racing.</span><br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While my shoulder injury (see last post) put a damper in my 2012 racing it didn't stop us from traveling and riding with folks all over the world.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Luckily we had a working GPS</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We barely had time to pre-ride (in the rain) before pitch dark, so Todd dropped me off and I did one lap with lights. As soon as I saw him back at the car I broke down in tears again, I just couldn't control my bike yet on a Euro course. S</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">liding</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> into a padded tree on a steep that turned (and my bike didn't) hadn't hurt but I was pretty rattled. If </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">something</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> is too steep and slippery to ride it is </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">impossible</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> to walk. After getting to the hotel room I decided if it were drier I could make the steep slippery, rooty </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">descents</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. The decision was made that if it was raining when we woke up I would skip the race. It was pouring the next morning, I looked out the window, saw the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Junior racers covered in mud and was perfectly happy to go back to bed; guess I was pretty stressed out about trying to race.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />

Long story about driving around a Eastern European town at night looking for options ended up with us calling the first hotel's contact number. Luckily he spoke some English and was able to get the machine to give us a <i>ground level</i> room! (We had learned by now not to ask for 1st floor, because that is the 1st floor above ground level.)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My race was all about survival, I think I was one of two racers who didn't wreck, it was steep, slippery and mud/rock techy which at my speed (slow) was so much fun! This time I finished 2 laps down, but there were riders who finished 3 laps down and 11 that DNF'd, so again it could have been worse. I was worked by the time they pulled me, I was fading quickly and wouldn't have had enough upper body strength or the shoulder pain threshold to do another lap.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Course description from <a href="http://maryandmikeride.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Mary and Mike's blog</a>, "<span style="background-color: white;">The demanding course took it's toll on many. There were more mechanical problems and bloodied riders than at any of the other WCs in recent memory! Sketchy chutes seemed to be enough to take down even the best riders including the world cup winner Julian Absalon who took a solid tumble over the bars on his way to victory. "</span></span><br />

My shoulder now, more details below.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
A lot has happened since the last post, basically I had a horrible cold for 3.5 weeks which overlapped with a significant injury which has resulted in a total of 4 missed (or may have well missed) races and almost 2 months of serious training. It is hard enough when these are local races, but to fly all over the world just to miss races is rough. Especially when the USA Olympic committee is looking at the first four World Cup races to determine which of the eight of us get to go to the Olympics. Not only have I missed the first two, but I am now back to a last row call up if all goes well and I am able to race the third World Cup in Czech on May 12th.<br />
<br />
However, if you don't consider racing or training, Todd and I are having a great time traveling.<br />
<br />
The last post was about four races in Cyprus, a trip to Italy for the Cannondale Team Camp, back to Cyprus with a cold and unable to race the final race.<br />
<br />
<b>March 7th -14th</b><br />
We packed up and traveled to South Africa where my cold would not clear up and Todd had it as well. I skipped all my workouts trying to get it to go away, then decided to race the National South Africa course the weekend before the World Cup which was probably a really bad idea. I didn't feel sick anymore, but had a horrible cough and felt weak. I ended up "racing" at tempo pace and somehow avoided getting pulled. I did enjoy the technical sections and only took one B-line. <br />

It was hot, I was super slow. I fell in some loose dirt away from any technical section, lost my GPS. On the next lap I stopped and dug around in the dirt till I found it. I was not going to do another lap after the race! This photo was just after I retrieved it. I'm trying to listen to Todd, for some reason expecting him to tell me to quit with one lap (of 5) to go. Instead he says, "Go as hard as you can". In the next photo I laugh.</div>

I had not tried the drop so had to take the long way around in the National race, but felt like I was getting the other lines dialed for the World Cup race. After the National race I found some legal decongestants that allowed me to talk without hacking.<br />
<br />
In this <a href="http://mtbracenews.com/view_article.jsp?id=504" target="_blank">video</a> from South Africa I mention the National race and how I was wondering if I would get up the guts to try the drop or not.<br />

Well I did try the drop! I was worried about the 90degree turn above it and scrubbing too much speed allowing the nose to drop as soon as the bike was airborn. Turns out I carried enough speed and the nose did not drop. That's the good news.<br />

I should have worried about the landing as well. Either I landed too far to the right and tried to lean back to the left (as there was a bit of a left turn upon landing to set up for a gap jump) or I just landed a bit tilted, either way my front tire pulled off the rim and I washed out. Hard. My shoulder seemed to take the majority of the crash, my helmet was broken in three places, the <a href="http://www.gobandit.com/" target="_blank">Go Bandit</a> helmet cam mount broke off and I had road rash on my shoulder, back, elbow, knee and hip; the hip bruise is still there. Luckily the bike was fine.<br />

Should have used a thicker sidewall tire, like the sealant compatible maybe? or more air pressure?</div>

I sat up right away and put my right hand on the left shoulder, I felt a bone sticking way up and my shoulder was dropped. I assumed I had dislocated the shoulder. Luckily Todd was nearby, he didn't see me wreck but saw the medic running down the hill and knew it had to be for me. The pain was so high that I asked everyone, the medics and spectators, to "Just pop it back in, please!". They called the 4x4 to get me to the ambulance and said no one at the venue could relocate a shoulder, that I had to get an xray first. The Cannondale CFR crew was great, Daniel came to check on me before the ambulance ride and called Todd later to see what the news was and tell us whether a shot and other meds were WADA allowed (there was no data or wifi at the hospital). It is nice to not feel like we are on our own in another country. I am also now up to date on my tetanus shot and that's the way to get one, I never felt the shot or the normal soreness.<br />

Thanks to spectators (Lowe? probably not even close) for the rigged sling and the woman who brought me my GoBandit. Needless to say, I did not race the first 2012 World Cup three days later, I did watch the best ever race coverage from the couch at our apartment; they showed the entire race on local TV.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Pica packs are not my favorite and after this trip Todd also ordered an <a href="http://evocusa.com/" target="_blank">Evoc</a> bag. We headed back to Tucson, AZ. We are seriously lucky to have such good luggage. The <a href="http://www.ospreypacks.com/" target="_blank">Osprey</a> bags all straps to each other and we (meaning mostly Todd) were able to get everything to and though all the airports.<br />
<br />
I saw Dr. Thompson at <a href="http://swhand.com/index.php" target="_blank">Southwest Shoulder, Hand and Elbow</a> as soon as we arrived in Tucson. He said it was a Grade Three Separation meaning the three ligaments were severed (and will not fix themselves).<br />

I chose the non-surgery option and will know down the road if this was the correct decision. Basically the recovery time is much faster without surgery and I had good luck with the no-surgery option when I severed my ACL. So, I couldn't make it any worse unless I fell and put the collar bone through the muscle, his advice was to do what I could letting pain be my guide, allowing everything inside to heal up.<br />
<br />
After the first week I kept envisioning a robot with it's left arm torn off , the arm lay on the ground but the hand worked perfectly, as long as the robot would pick up and position the left hand very carefully it was useful, but it obviously couldn't be positioned via the left shoulder. I basically had a remote controlled left hand, which it turns out, is really useful.<br />
<br />
For anyone with this injury who may be interested in recovery time:<br />
<b>March 15th</b><br />
<u>week 1, Days 1-6</u> Arm in sling 24/7, pain level was pretty high used a ton of ice to get swelling down. Traveled back to USA, full flights = very uncomfortable. Saw Dr on day 6, ditched the sling for the most part and quit the ibuprofen regiment that was started at the hospital.<br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>March 21st - April 6th</b><br />
<u>week 2, Day 7-14</u> The swelling started to go down a little, kept up with ice and began taping my shoulder "on", tape covered ~1/3 of my upper body.<br />

I ended up with delayed ibuprofen side effects, bleeding gums, stomach aches and extreme fatigue most of the week. Spin classes at <a href="http://o2modernfitness.com/" target="_blank">O2</a> seemed like a good idea so I tried two 30 minute spin classes just to get my legs spinning. In the second class I worked on reaching out to hold the bars. Since I was there I also tried a yoga class with the sling on, not a bright idea, I really liked the challenge, but not the additional pain after.<br />

Major accomplishment! Both building the bike and getting on it. photo by <a href="http://www.topofusion.com/diary/" target="_blank">Scott Morris</a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Scott was there to help finish the bike, he put on the grips and cut the bars for me, no way around using two strong hands for those tasks. Then he test rode it and helped me get up the guts to try and get on. As always he was quick enough to get a photo of it too. I rode 5-10 seconds a few times and was pretty proud of myself. </div>
<br />
I started trying to get on the MTB on the road, just getting on the bike was difficult and painful, balancing and spinning took focus, lots of breaks were required to give the arm a rest. The biggest problem was braking, when you brake the body moves forward and the arm does not. This is a huge issue when your shoulder is only held together with tape. Each time feels like someone shot you in the shoulder; a huge burst of pain, so bad you can't see anything for a few seconds. As far as riding, there is a trick to "stacking" your shoulder which allows you to hold on to the bars, but even the slightest crack in the pavement was to be avoided and turning was not the best idea. Bone-on-bone popping and crunching with extreme bursts of pain were the result of incorrect movements. I could not twist my head or body at all or the "stack" would fall apart, so a mirror was rigged and Scott had to guide me. I could ride but still couldn't put my hair in a ponytail or wear normal shirts.<br />
<br />
<u>week 3, Day 14-21</u> I started mastering the road, thanks to all my baby-sitters, Scott Morris, Adam Kroger and Dave McElwaine! I worked on trying to get the MTB in singletrack. This included researching braces, I ended up with the <a href="http://www.btosports.com/p/EVSSB04" target="_blank">EVS Brace</a>. Day 21 I could ride off-road, it was painful and I couldn't pull on bars at all. However I could finally get some zone 2 and a tiny bit of 3 efforts on the road (with lots of rest breaks). 5 minutes in Zone 3 (tempo) was insanely hard, the body was in some other mode for sure, with nothing left for the legs.<br />
<br />
I also found a new sponsor, <a href="http://www.gameready.com/" target="_blank">Game Ready</a>, no more leaking bags of ice!<br />

So still on mad-recovery schedule I unpacked and repacked. Todd was away the entire time for work so moving a bag meant emptying it one item at a time, without bending at the waist, moving each item, then repacking one item at a time. Most bags stayed where they landed from March 21st till April 7th when Todd came by to pick me up and head to the airport.<br />

<u>week 4, Day 22-28</u><br />
<b>April 7th-9th</b><br />
<br />
Todd and I caught our flight to Germany and thoroughly enjoyed our private flat bed fort on the plane.<br />

We stayed a night in my favorite hotel in Augsburg, Germany again with points. Last year's travels are saving us some money this year; then drove to Belgium.<br />
<br />
<b>April 10th </b><br />
Cold rainy days were normal the entire week. We did a short cold paved/gravel road ride. The pain was pretty low unless I flinched or tried to take my hand off the bars. The biggest issue was I could not react, if the tire slipped even a tiny bit I was jolted with a huge burst of pain and my arm was so weak that "reacting" didn't really accomplish anything in the first place.<br />
<br />
<b>April 11th </b><br />
Headed to the Houffalize course to give it a go.<br />
<br />
I could not ride up the first hill, it was that steep, I couldn't really pull on the bars. Talk about a huge let down, I had worked so hard to make this happen. I just stood there and looked at the course. Todd figured out pretty quickly that I had just realized this race wasn't going to happen, he walked over and gave me a hug.<br />

Watching another World Cup. Houffalize, Belgium</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
We (meaning Todd) finally decided I was on vacation, I rode when I could, did some efforts when I could, watched the Houffalize World Cup which was very spectator friendly. We traveled from Houffalize, Belgium to Augsburg, Germany to Verona and Bibbiena, Italy. I had lots of chocolate, Nutella and Coke Zero...<br />

Our awesome vacation spot in the Tuscan mountains</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I stopped tapping my arm mainly because the tape I bought for the trip is horrible and when trying to remove it only the top layer peels off leaving all the sticky residue on the skin; which everything including my hair sticks to, for days. The shoulder seems to be able to hold itself up now and I use the brace for all rides.<br />
<br />
I started doing research on the pain I was feeling since it is no longer the entire shoulder but pretty localized and severely limiting what I can do. Everything seemed to fit the descriptions of Impingment or Supraspinatus strain or tear. I contacted Dr. Mike Puchowicz in Arizona via Facebook. He replied that it would be too hard to tell the difference between these and the pain just due to the separation. Dr. Puchowicz provided me with a list of shoulder stabilization workouts, descriptions and You Tube links. That is what I am focusing on now. I hope to be back to training (not just riding) on the road in a few days, and sleeping though the night would be awesome! Here is the <a href="http://www.udel.edu/PT/PT%20Clinical%20Services/journalclub/sojc/10-11/Cote%20et%20al%20rehab%20AC.pdf" target="_blank">article</a> with workouts that Dr. Puchowicz sent me, although he customized a lot of the workouts and suggested ones to replace these.<br />
<br />
Will I race in Czech on May 12th? I have no idea, but I am pretending I am. I sure hope week 6 is the magic week. Everything I found says 12 weeks, but I say 6.
<br />
<br />
<b>Edit:</b> start of week 7<br />
<b>April 26th - 29th</b><br />
So it's taken me a week to post this blog and I have actually done two real workouts and some real mountain biking!!! I just came in from the second workout and am pretty happy. No PR numbers or anything but my power is coming back, tempo now feels only a little harder than it should, not ridiculously impossible like before. The last week's PT workouts or some "off" time really seemed to help.<br />
<br />
The super cold rain is gone and it turns out our place is ideally situated for training, as long as you don't want a flat road because everything is up or down. The owner Thomas not only brought over a thumb drive with 27 MTB GPS tracks, most of which leave from the front door, but also explained which ones he thought I could do, which ones would be muddy and which ones led to (and through) must-sees like the <a href="http://www.discovertuscany.com/casentino/la-verna.html" target="_blank">La Verna Sanctuary</a>. We are really enjoying this beautiful place, the time together and even more so now that I can start training.<br />
<br />
Prayers said and fingers crossed for Czech May 12th!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04261455731130098895noreply@blogger.com2
