Subject: Retail Therapy and Bike Crash Update

5 days after crashing my bike, I got my diagnosis - fracture of the greater tuberosity of the humerus. Luckily there is no tissue damage and it's non-displaced, so healing should be quick. I'll be in a sling another 2 weeks minimum, maybe another week after depending on what the doc thinks. I'm only allowed on the trainer and the elliptical between now and then so I can't even run

However, I boosted my spirits today with the purchase of a Cervelo P2C Ultegra. I can't manage the fitting for awhile, but it just felt good to know it will be waiting for me when I recover. Nothing like a little retail therapy to expedite recovery!

Sorry to hear about your fracture but it sounds like the diagnosis is very hopeful. The healing process will be very straight forward.

Awesome choice on your new bike btw. But then I am a bit Biased having just taken delivery of the same bike

I really hope that you love your Cervelo as much as I love mine

Heal well and get ready for Fall Marathon Season.

Nothing says "Get well soon" quite like a beautiful new bike. Make the engine worthy of the chassis and heal up quickly
