Today I was asked to write a short cycling bio that included some advice. So what did I write? Just go faster. It's the first thing that came to my mind. But then after I hit send, I thought about it... Do I still believe it? Can I still live by it, ride by it?
I remember when I was first learning to ride, hubby told me everything gets easier with speed. And it turns out it was true, so true.
But when I get back on the bike in a few months, will I have the confidence to speed through the roots, rocks, bumps, jumps. I feel hesitant already. To be honest, the longer I'm off the bike, the more leery I get about getting back on. Will I ever get back to 100%, or 110% like in a race?
The whole six months off the bike that the doc told me about on Tuesday is really sinking in. Although I can't imagine I'll really have to take that much time off. PT is going well. In a week and a half I had all my range of motion back (which was supposed to take 4 weeks). So the next two and a half weeks are just going through the motions until I can start strengthening the joint and muscles.
I may fast forward through rehab, but I'll have to remember my own advice when I get back on the bike.
