Been a while since my last post, which if you check any Achilles Rupture blog is a sure sign of recovery. Over the last month I've begun to get my mobility back so I've been out being as mobile as possible. As your probably aware I've been left to handle my own rehab (not sure if thats due to NHS cost cutting or them knowing I despise physiotherapists).
Last Saturday I managed to compete in my first competition since the injury. I had planned to try and make it back at the end of September despite them telling me late November would be the earliest possible date I'd be able to make it back. I'm feeling good now, very flexible and having very little pain. I work on it everyday and yoga is now a big part of my daily activity. My aim for the competition was to hopefully compete in the clubman class but when I started riding I felt comfortable enough to ride in the Expert class like usual.
I managed to finish in second place 1 mark behind the winner. Given my time off the bike and initial fears that I'd not ride again, I was over the moon to finish my first trial.
