Injury in Austria

Unfortuantely I have had a small setback, I broke my collar bone roller skiing in Ramsau, Austria one week ago. I was able to get to a hospital and get surgery the next day. However I am now heading home early from my trip to get back to Steamboat and start rehab and the recovery process. I broke my collarbone in a roller ski crash on a technical downhill, I have always and still do enjoy seeing how fast I can go on a downhill and this time it turns out I was going too fast. I was skiing on a course specific to roller skiing. I carried too much speed around a corner that was merging with another part of the course and I went off the edge and into the dirt. I was successful in avoiding a tree however my wheel caught in the dirt and I was thrown to the pavement below where I was only able to get into a half roll landing on my left shoulder. I then skied down the second half of the downhill and then back to my hotel. Although this was a bummer and I am not happy with it, I am however very thankful that I was not hurt more as it could have gone much worse for me. I will be in Steamboat for rehab and then as soon as I can I will be getting back to it!
