When you're 80, you can brag that you FINISHED an ultra with a broken leg. If that's not TOUGH then I don't know what is!<br />Heal up fast,<br />AdamCassedayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06903493546022429763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681117549787428514.post-29419986978125557692010-01-13T14:00:27.818-05:002010-01-13T14:00:27.818-05:00Adam,
Thanks for your kind comments. Unfortunate...Adam,<br /><br />Thanks for your kind comments. Unfortunately, after the initial visit with the urgent care doctor and radiologist which indicated no broken bones, a visit to an orthopedic specialist eight days later revealed a broken tibia approximately 2 inches above my ankle. Recovery will take much longer than anticipated as I am now in a boot cast. Despite the layoff and pain, I really enjoyed the race and am quite pleased to have finished the Sasquatch 50k. I hope to be back on the trails before summer. It looks like you had a lot of fun at the winter run.<br />Happy trails to you,<br />RickUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11227578442641481746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681117549787428514.post-84523684946812019922010-01-09T17:51:29.092-05:002010-01-09T17:51:29.092-05:00Rick,

What was the official diagnosis; broken/sprained?<br />You are one tough dude to gut it across the finish line like that. Great to finally meet you Rick and I wish you a speedy recovery. <br />See you on the trails soon,<br />AdamCassedayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06903493546022429763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681117549787428514.post-40005841448039889022010-01-09T14:59:19.428-05:002010-01-09T14:59:19.428-05:00Adam,
To those unaware of the late raceday events,...Adam,<br />To those unaware of the late raceday events, I give you much thanks. Not only did you finish second to a great runner on a great course, you aided another two runners after waiting around for a couple of hours. I had not met you previously, but it was certainly my pleasure as you helped the others( Dennis, Dan, Susan,Mike and one other unnamed runner)get me down Teaberry trail with a severly damaged ankle. I have not previously posted any comments, but I wanted to express my thanks to all of you and to Mike and Ashley Dolin for a great course and race. I hope to be back on the trails as soon as possible.<br />Rick Workman, Copperhead Ridge RunnerUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11227578442641481746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681117549787428514.post-17544927725269359772010-01-07T19:54:22.960-05:002010-01-07T19:54:22.960-05:00Great job Adam!

Believe it or not I like to work on speed during the chilly temps...or maybe it's just so freakin' cold, my body moves faster in order to get to the warm drinks afterward:-)<br /><br />CJC.J.
