Should You Cry On Your Adventure?

An unexpected fall gave me an unexpected fall, but still a great fall.

In case you’re weirdly fascinated by injuries, my left clavicle is currently compressed over an inch, bringing my shoulder forward while winging out my shoulder blade. Pretty much, I got smooshed into a gargoyle. But a very happy and grateful gargoyle! The various ways you guys have reached out and shown genuine concern and readiness to support me have made the current womp-womp situation not-too-hard to accept. I am determined to make the best of it knowing I got friends like you cheering me on. I’ll be taking it easy the next few weeks, smashing the 2.5 lbs. dumbbells at the gym and maybe taking noontime aqua-batics classes. If you want to help me out, then go have the best rowdy fall adventures that I can vicariously live through!

Well it finally happened… the broken collarbone! With what I had scouted on the terrain and how I was riding and feeling at the time, I took an informed risk that I would still take as I replay the lead up in my head. It’s a bummer outcome that I would give a 1-star Yelp review to but I’m at peace with it (and that’s not the morphine speaking)! Plus, having many friends that have resiliently and gracefully overcome similar/identical setbacks, I feel confident and well-prepared for the recovery process. Let’s do it! Finally, I do have a few small requests: (1) Help me open jars? (2) Can someone pick-up my prescriptions? 😉 (3) If i’m still wearing the hospital gown 2 weeks from now, maybe take it away? This thing is dangerously comfy and well-ventilated.

Tons of views! Not much O2... 😝😜🤪😳 • 📸: Josh Lawton

Always feeling like I’m on top of the world when I’m at @vidamtbseries Aspen Snowmass clinic! All the progression, support, and laughter these women brought this weekend filled and tickled my heart (and was seriously much appreciated after my past month of non-stop adulting 😁). Here we are about to (safely) expand our limits of fun down French Press while avoiding getting beamed up to the Starship Enterprise! 🖖

Go big or Go... slightly less big! Recap of my Carson City Off-Road Capital 50 experience, why I switched from the Capital 35 the day before the race, and my first time fixing a trailside flat (2 miles before the finish line no less!) in my profile link.
