The Back Saga

Hello. So had my appointment with Physical Medicine today to get a specialists opinion on what could be wrong. I've been thinking all along that I probably injured my back in my last race or sometime there soon afterwards. I put some pedal extenders on the bike about a week before my race and didn't give my body time to adapt to the new position it was now in, then went out a rode a really hard TT. This is how I think the injury occured. Needless to say, the doctor's opnion was a sprained lower right-side back. It has been feeling better for the last couple of weeks which the doc said is a good sign. So the prescription...keep avoiding heavy lifting, and continue easy riding on the bike as long as it doesn't cause pain. Hopefully it heals soon, as next season is front loaded with a lot of RR's early on. Almost finished with English 202, Wednesday is the last class, then a month off before heading into the Library Tech program. Also, just had my first day at work as a library volunteer at Rancho Bernardo High School! So far, so good. Until next time.....
