Buddha is down for the count

With the UPSman back on the roster, the Pac NW AllStarz were poised to make a presence for the rest of the Cross Crusade as well as USGP & Cross Natz. Except for the fact that my ongoing battle with a very persistent health condition has me down for the ’09 cx season indefinitely.

An ambulance ride later, I find out I tore up some of the intercostal muscles on my right flank…you know, the ones that connect your ribs to each other :)

In the meantime, I’ll be at the races cheering on the rest of my Syndicate brothers and taking some pics of the action! Also, check out the sweet beanie a friend of mine made in the ’09 Crossniacs colors!

Peace bruddas!

    sadly enough, it was from a chronic cough & complications with my asthma (which have kept me out of the last 3 races).

    I coughed so hard today that I heard a huge pop & hit a 10/10 on the pain scale.

    Nice hat! Sorry to hear about the cough and injury. Hope you don’t have to cheer mime-style.

    I feel your pain…I spent the summer recovering from two torn ankle ligaments. Rest up and listen to the doc/PT!
