Change of plans

Last week, my knee filled with a moderate amount of swelling and wouldn't come down. After talking to the doctor and getting an MRI, it was decided that the problem was mechanical within the joint, and the next step is surgery back in the states. Unfortunately, that puts an end to the race season. Even though I will not be competing this year, I will be coaching some juniors on the US team along with other things. I may be down, but everything happens for a reason, so I am going to make the most out of my situation.
