Recovery Update

Jennifer is healing fast and has great range of motion. She has started PT and will progress quickly. I am waiting to see the DR. on Friday to find out my next steps.  I am really really hoping for good news. It is really a struggle at times to do anything and I have yet to make any progress. I do feel pretty motivated but the boredom is soul sucking.  Paul has taken over some of the filming for videos and Jacks video came out great. I am really looking forward to riding with him and watching him progress. It will probably be late fall before I am back on the Bike.

Sam Hill 510 Shoes

Picked up a pair of the Sam Hill shoes because I was having a ton of foot pain. I started looking for a stiffer shoe and the Sam Hill's fit the bill. Normally I ride the FiveTen's Freerides and love them but my feet have been taking a pounding riding DH every weekend. After the 3 day and 86 mile Bike n Brew I was wrecked from top to bottom. After a week of recovery my feet were stilled killing me. So after one ride at Killington I can say no increase (not none) foot pain. The shoes are wide which makes pedal placement difficult, which should not be a thing a few more rides in. The stiffness kills sensitivity which is pretty important to me but not at the cost of crazy sore feet all the time. I love the protection of the toe box, feels like steel toes boots. I will be saving these for days at the DH Park as they are heavy and really designed as a gravity shoe. Ill UPDATE in the future after I get some more rides in.
