Hey guys, now that finals are over and winter is in full
swing, this blog is about to get ramped back up! Expect a post at least once a
week from now until April.
A little update on my injuries: I got back into GS gates at
the beginning of December and the knee felt great. I then upped my training
volume and started some full length GS just a few days after that. One day
after training I felt a little pain in my knee, so I decided to take a couple
days off. When I returned to skiing after a break, my knee still hurt quite a
bit, so I took another day off. When that didn’t help my pain, I decided to go
to Park City to get it checked out. After an MRI and a couple visits with Dr.
Cooley at Park City hospital, I found out that I have a decently bad bone
bruise. Treatment for this injury is pretty simple- rest, spinning on the
stationary bike, and icing the knee quite a bit. Unfortunately it’s a slow
healing process (3-4 weeks), but I should be ready to go to Europe on Jan. 1!
I am planning on taking my training a bit slow right now to
prevent any further injuries. For
now, it’s a lot of training and a lot of gym time, trying to get strong! I don’t
plan on racing until I am fully up to speed. I will keep you posted.
