i'm out for the Nats. rode the Norco for my usual grocery run today, but only did 50k of cruising about, exploring on the trails exploring last night. hoping to do ok racing tonight on the Formula, i'm 10 days out from a massive bruise injury to my greater trochanter/ITB and my whole thigh is still black and purple - my GP said go home and take a panadol ffs - i've heat packed, used two tubes of Hiruidoid plus arnica spray and had my whole forearm bandaged for the week. i still hurt and the bruising has reached past my knee and i can't lift my arm above my shoulder. yeah, conventional medicine is the gold standard.....the two nursing sisters i live with have told me they've never seen a bruise as big as mine in 20+ years on the floor.
in other news...i'm on the Retro bike again from Monday for another State points round. shame i'm the only woman rider....
