Default Broken Wrist
So three weeks ago I went on a rode at Oaks with the guys from Adrenaline. I was super stoked to ride with a great group of guys on a trail I'd never ridden. I made it up the B's and we were going town chutes.

As I went down the drop, I didn't have enough speed and proceeded to go over the bars. My wrist hurt but I really didn't think it was too bad.

The wife convinced me to go to the doctor and he initially thought the wrist was just a little sprain but was unsure and referred me to orthopedics. I finally went to see him the other day where he took one look and said yep it's broken. So now i've got a cast for three weeks, So I should still be able to make the races I plan on running later this year.

I think the baby should be cradled in the left arm. Isn't that a foam wrap? Heal up.
