This past weekend I celebrated the one year anniversary of my season-ending ankle break. OF course, I headed down to Charm City CX and noticed Kris and Co. removed the section where I dumped my bike that fateful Saturday, known by Dave Lowe as the “Jed Tree”. Oddly, I woke up this morning and my leg was a little creakier than usual – my body must know that today was the day I had a plate and screws inserted to bolt my fibula back together.

I’m glad I have been taking it slow this year, though I miss racing. Then again, I see videos like this

and I remember why I haven’t pinned on a number in 366 days.
