SixtyFiver, I've basically recovered from my accident, broken back etc etc, and I have most of my strength back hence a return to Masters racing. However, there are still times when I do serious climbing training that my back/torso says " Hello, remember me?, I'm the thing that aches like hell when you do this climbing gig". So I have to train smart and listen to my body, if it hurts I train flat land, if it doesn't I climb. This has been very frustrating because I've had to make excuses to Jur for not riding some of his epic Alpine rides with him.
