Grant Wilson - Training Diary - 14 Aug 2012

Carl & Mat with Weitsee behind them, we ski on this lake in theWinter.

The training programme was changed about for this week so instead of going on the bike ride on the Wednesday we went on it today. The plan was to do around about a five hour bike ride, but after about an hour and a half in things did not go as expected. After a good couple of climbs we began our decent down a gravel track. On the way down we hit a turn which I didn’t think was as sharp as it was and on my way round my bike threw me off and sent me scrapping and bumping along the ground. Carl who was in front of me at the time turned round seeing me on the ground came back up to help. Luckily Mat wasn’t to close behind me and had plenty of time to stop. The coach assessed the damage and decided that I should go back to the house. We cycled to the house where once again having another look coach decided to take me to A&E. While we went to hospital Mat and Carl set off and completed the cycle we all did last week, except only once this time. Once at hospital I was assessed and got sent for x-rays on my shoulder, arm and hip. Luckily the results came back all clear and I hadn’t broken anything. The nurse patched up my arm and the coach and I made our way back to the house. Hopefully I will be back to normal training quickly.
