Title: Possibly out for Washougal and Pala! :-(
Post by: Watson777 on July 05, 2010, 08:44:10 AM: I was doing some racing at Washougal yesterday and caught my leg on the ground when I was scrubbing a tabletop and broke my left ankle as well as tearing my ACL and several legiments in my ankle..... I am in a cast now and will be until Washougal but as of now I am still planning on racing it one way or the other...... :-X Lesson learned here = don't scrub the crap outta a rutted lip no matter how bad you want to make the pass! :-\
I rode 5 more laps after I did it and then the pain became too much and I had to pull off only to find out it was quite a but worse than it felt. Oh well though, like I said I still plan on doing the 2-stroke proud at Washougal!

Post by: Watson777 on July 05, 2010, 10:53:19 PM: I know ACL's are bad!I have already had reconstructive surgery on my right leg. Acl, mcl, pcl, lcl, removed meniscus and I don't even remember what else. It was very lame and I still feel it every day but puttin a 2-stroke in the nationals is important to me.

Post by: Watson777 on July 07, 2010, 03:45:43 PM: I broke the Talus (I think that is what it is called) bone and tore the ACL, plus a pretty good sprain to the ankle. I will be at Washougal one way or the other!

The last thing you need is to do more damage which could set you back even further. Get healthy and come back strong...
