Whilst training with Team Evolution for the Delancey British Championships in Tignes today, I landed in a funny angles, spun round and smashed through a piste marker.

Little did I know that, my fall was going to be bigger than I thought and ruin my whole Summer Season of training and racing.

After being rescued off the piste, I was taken to Le Lac Hospital, assessed and immediately transferred to the Hospital at Bourg Saint Maurice. On arrival I was re-x-rayed and straight into the operating theatre.

A massive thanks to John Reidy and Alex Reidy for their on piste emergency assistance.

So, after a 3 hour operation to plate and screw my chipped patella, and re attached my snapped patella tendons and 13 stitches (beat you Jonny M!), I was in recovery for what would be the next 3 days in hospital.

Throughout it all our wonderful Team Evolution house mum, Lesley stayed with me whilst my Parents looked at travelling out.  She was amazing and I can not thank her enough for being there.
