Good to Go!

I've been cleared by my doctors.. got in some training.. gained 10lbs for the bay.. now it’s time to race again!

I'll be competing in the 2011 Laser Master Worlds in San Francisco hosted by Saint Francis Yacht Club next week for seven days. I’m excited to get back out on the water in my laser in the event we call “The Show”. It was less than a year ago at Hyland Island, UK where I badly fractured my collar bone at the Laser Masters Worlds. Much credit needs to be given to DISC Sports and Spine Center for doing a fantastic job of getting me back out on the water and able to compete at my sport at this high level. Thank you to Dr. Robert Bray, Jr. and Dr. Andrew Bulczynski and the entire DISC team for expertly performing my surgery and overseeing my recovery.

In this recent X-Ray you can see my titanium plate that is still in. More importantly you can see my collar bone is almost one solid color which means the bone has fused together nicely. The plate and all eight screws are tentatively scheduled to come out in October.
