On Saturday the 23rd Jan I travelled to compete in 2 local Tirol Cup races in Reith, Austria. These races do not count towards FIS points, but are still of a very high standard. I did not finish in either race but it was a good experience against a quality field of racers. For the first time in 2 years I have picked up a minor knee injury and have had to return to the UK for treatment.
I flew back to the UK on the Tuesday the 26th Jan to see Paul Thawley and Doctor Mike Loosemore at Elite Physical Medicine. They had a good look at my knee, and said I have a small tear in the lining of one of my ligaments and some bone bruising under my knee cap. The outcome of this is I will now be off skis for a maximum of 3 weeks to give me time to recover. Big thanks to Paul and Mike at Elite for all there continued medical support. While I am back in the UK I will be focusing on my upper body strength and swimming for my cardio vascular fitness. I will keep you updated, cheers Ben.
