I learned a few weeks ago that I did not tear my achilles – huge relief. But I had to start physical therapy to wean off of the boot, and strengthen my calf and achilles. Just last week I got the go ahead to ride the trainer for 20 minutes, and to increase as my pain allowed (no climbing).

I did a little climbing on the trainer yesterday and am definitely feeling it today, but hope to keep pushing it so I can start riding and climbing outside. We have a trip to France in mid-July that I’m hoping to be ready for, as we’ll be riding a lot of challenging mountain routes (and watching the Tour!).

It’s great to hear from many of you who are training to ride keto-adapted. I promise it gets easier…hang in there.
