At the beginning of December I broke my shoulder dryland training for ski racing. Why was I dryland training? To prepare for the Birkie, snow or not. Can I actually rehab and ski the Birkie this year?
I am not amused. I crashed on my rollerskis back on December 2nd. I broke my shoulder.
Going down a hill I've skied many times. J even said maybe we should turn back (neither of us felt good). I'd already had a bobble. Ugh, wish I had just said yes. We went out just a little farther and turned back.
Then my wheel...I don't even know. It got stopped by some little stick while I'm going down hill and I SMACKED the pavement so hard! Damn that HURT!
So I have to walk out holding my arm, J carrying my skis and poles, and sit in a wood chip pile near the road. J has to ski all the way back to get the car. Thank goodness he doesn't crash. Then he comes to get me. And on to Tria Urgent Care we go. X-rays confirm, yes...fracture. Avulsion fracture of the proximal humerus. And so begins the long road of healing and recovery. But mostly feeling broken for the first several weeks.
I do not recommend rollerkskiing in December. And now a long journey begins before me. Can I rehab this in time to ski the Birkie?
