Slightly broken…
Hey, so obviously I have been kinda hiding/keeping low-ish for the past couple of months… so thought I’d better say hi and quick update for those who are still reading, hehehehe…. 
Basically since I got back from Belg I had 5 weeks completely off the bike, partly because I had a pretty average season and needed time to re ignite the passion for riding, and partly because I needed time off , I’ve been having back/leg pain for over a year now and its bugging the crap out of me!!grrrrrrrrrr!!!!
I have spent the last 2 months at the physio and the sports doctor, and wer’e trying to fix it. After some x-rays and MRI scan, it showeed some bones that hadn’t completely formed in the lower part or my spine and therefore the ligaments have nothing to attach to and makes it unstable and the last disc in my back is dehydrated (apparently swimming or time in the pool helps re-hydrate them…… never knew that was possible) and it had a wee bulge/compressed towards the back, and that’s aggrevating my ciatic nerve etc…. So more then anything I am frustrated and just want to get on with things…
I have been doing some races here and there, mainly the local crits here in Auckland as they are pretty cool fun, but I also did the Hot dog crit in Taupo 2 weeks ago, that went pretty well, I got 2nd!! yay me!
Anyhow, I’ve been pretty busy at work too, its good to have something else on and getting back into a routine!! and of course making some money!!
Anyway, mama’s installed wireless now (much quicker) and I have no excuse to update this a little more often again!! Hope everyone’s good and enjoying the nice weather we are starting to get!!
See you out there
