It’s a racing strategy which has been all but enhanced
through recent injury. I’m currently side-lined waiting for results of an MRI
scan on my back, having not taken to the start line for a single road race so
far this year. For now, all I can do envisage my Cancellaraesq strength, and if
I tell everyone it enough, they may just believe it.
For now the focus is getting a diagnosis, fixing the
problem, and getting in shape for races later in the year. I’m in good hands being
treated by EIS sport medics at Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham. Any hospital
with free coffee in the waiting room gets my approval; I’ll take free coffee
over good health care any day. At least the governments got its priorities
right on that account.
My one saving grace is a final year dissertation deadline a
week away, so at least my time isn’t filled with day-time TV and hangovers. Not
yet anyway. I’ve also been accepted onto a masters degree in exercise
physiology next year, so will be blessing Lufbra with my presence into 2014 and
beyond. Lock up your daughters.
That new Focus? Well, it’s sitting in my garage, for the
time being at least, anyway.
