RATS!

[Tricia]

Oops, I did it again. Right leg this time. Damn.

What did you do!???
We left Ann in charge and she lets this happen.

 

[Andy Mink]

Maybe reduce your heel DIN? That's what I did several years ago after a couple of minor calf tears.

That might be on the docket.

 

[Bad Bob]

Hate when that happens.

Get better soon.

Have you been doing stretching/flexibility exercises for your calf? After one tear i would have thought that stretching would be on the agenda.

Yep, stretching everyday. It's not the big muscles, it's the plantaris or popletius.

 

[SShore]

Sorry to hear that. Hope it heals fast.

The bindings are designed to prevent bones from breaking.

It cannot prevent soft tissue getting damaged.

Spoken like a lawyer. It stopped mine.
There is a difference between design criteria and secondary effects. Lower DIN means lower max forces all along the chain.

Getting hurt is never fun, Andy, but Miracle March means we'll likely ski together again at Rose in late April

 

[SugarCube]

I'm sorry to hear you're injured. Heal up and get back out there!

And the color starts to come in.
