Entry for July 31, 2006

Did something really stupid yesterday. Needed to hang some blinds in our office yesterday, but didn't have enough room to get the ladder between the desk and the window. Since all the desks are connected, it would have required moving printers, a bolt on lamp, partially disassembling the desk, etc., I opted to save a little time and just stand on the window ledge about a foot above the floor.
Of course I fell, caught my left pinky toe on the desk on the way down. Dislocated and broken. If there is a silver lining to be found, it's that it was not a complete break, just a spiral fracture. Should heal more quickly, but seriously screws up my racing, just as the calf was coming back.
I won't be able to ride for a week, and won't be able to run for 3-4, so this really puts the race in Colorado on the 20th in jeopardy. Hopefully things come together so I can race, but I certainly won't be in good form...

What's it like to dope in sports?

This is kind of a long article, but it's amazing:
