Best European Cycling location

thanks for asking Mojo

Mid January 25 - CX race fractured fibula and dislocated left ankle (foot pointing at 9am instead of 12 o clock) - cast three months - muscle wastage - priority was ROM in ankle and building up left quad/calf etc.

Back on the bike a few weeks after the cast came off(turbo easy)

A month later outside for 1hr spins.

Physio is key - trying to do it religiously and still doing it plus i am 53 and need all the flexibility i can muster!

As is regular gym work, pilates, yoga, cold water therapy(lake) etc - i literally have tried everything which seems to be working.

Back for club TT league in May/June(just about) and "rode" TT nationals in Monaghan.

Priority for winter is running and loose a few kgs.

Back running 6 months after accident late June - not great but a start. Ankle swells up a touch but activation before and rehab after are now as important as the run itself. Streets of Galway completed without stopping(had #5 5/6km runs on treadmill beforehand- that was it)

I have one 10km a month in calendar to focus training on with a view to go sub 50mins in Athenry 26th Dec.

Club spins on a Sunday 100km approx and turbo twice a week.

Would i go back CX'ing? - i have unfinished business in Ballinasloe fair green next January!

Not enough hours in the day lol!

for next year

Calpe April & possibly a deferred Fred Whitton in May & DCM Oct 26

*** almost forgot mizen to malin 3 day Aug BH weekend for NBCRI charity

Onwards and upwards!
