Hand surgery.
Hand surgery.

My Dad drove me down to Colorado Springs for surgery and the procedure was a huge success. Dr Kobayashi was able to repair my existing ligament so I didn't need a full reconstruction. For surgery, I chose to be heavily sedated instead of undergoing a general anesthesia. The anesthesiologist said my request wasn't very common although it seemed like a no-brainer to me since I'd avoid a breathing tube and be able to leave the surgery center quicker. Honestly, I was out the whole time and don't remember much!

This crew threw down 22 laps in the rain at the #24HOP to claim 5th overall and a 1st in category. So unbelievably proud of their collective effort and positivity out there in some pretty tough (and constantly changing) conditions. Congrats #azdevo! @pivot_cyclesusa / @stansnotubes / @clifbar / @castellicycling / @mbaaraceseries / @cadencepromotions / @esigrips / @castellicycling / @kask_cycling #stanspivot
Can't beat this morning view from the #24HOP. The forecast hasn't looked good all week and we are facing the start of 24 rainy hours of racing. While I'm not competing, I'm here supporting our #azdevo squad (@calskilsky @kristen_kollus @sonjacarlson @haydenrosborough @connorrosborough). Spirits are high. Desert rain is refreshing and means hero dirt.
This is a good sunset hill. #24HOP
So who will I see in the desert over the next few days? šŸŒµšŸŒµ I'm here to soak up some ā˜‰, set up camp for the #azdevo team, and of course, pedal pedal pedal. #24HOP
#Majadog taking a moment to appreciate a Mohave Desert sunset. We're in Lake Havasu City to cheer on the #azdevo team squad tomorrow. Good luck everyone!!
Proud of all these racers and Coach TJ (and the boys not pictured!). The #AZDevo team kicked off the race season today at the @mbaaraceseries at McDowell. There were close to 900 competitors at the race track today, a record-breaking number even with some inclement weather (for Phoenix) in the forecast. Way to #ridebikesbehappy AZ! Thanks to all the families, coaches, volunteers, and sponsors that support #AZDevo šŸ™Œ @pivot_cyclesusa #momentumendurance @mbaaraceseries @cadencepromotions @stansnotubes @esigrips @castellicycling @kask_cycling šŸ“·: @thewiscodisco
Thanks for the heads-up Bikesmith! Hard not to fall for the trails on trails on trails around here. Prescott is the town for people that like to play outside. @stansnotubes @pivot_cyclesusa @castellicycling @rideshimano #irideforpivot #stansnotubes #rideshimano #stanspivot #outdoorliving #bestplacestolive #visitprescott #Repost @bikesmithcycleryaz with @repostapp 惻惻惻 Way to go #PrescottAZ !! And good looking, @chloewoodruff ! This is my favorite magazine, @sunsetmag, and usually I see our old city, Portland OR, in here so this is very freaking cool. Finally, hype that doesn't involve "retirement community" and instead, what really makes us awesome, the outdoors!! Congrats to Chris Hosking for the interview on our amazing town šŸ‘šŸ½ #outdoorarcade
Rode to the desert today, one way, with the wind in my face the whole time. At least I found some sunshine and tasty snacks at the Country Corner in Congress. #soglamorous #curbsidelunch #trainingday
Today's ride at the Dells was an exercise in managing some nerves. First step is to acknowledge, "oh that's scary." Then I take a closer look, discuss options with my riding buddies, realize I have the right bike and setup for the task, stay calm, believe 100% that I can ride it well, and then let it rip. Right after riding a scary line for the first time, I feel all jazzed up and nervous. Some people like that feeling, but I don't. So that's where I find it helpful to ride something a second time, without the "I'm still alive" nerves at the finish. I prefer to ride calm and find a little peace out among the rocks. #adrenalinemitigation #betterthanyoga #staycalm #granitedells #girlswhoride #mountainbiking @pivot_cyclesusa @stansnotubes @rideshimano @maxxistires #mach6carbon #bravocarbon
