Chief,
Tore my Psosas Muscle Ice biking. Orthopod says 6 -12 weeks recovery. I am counting on less. I am signed up for the EC and am heading south to paddle regardless..... but if I still have poor hip flexion and abduction on March 3, I would not be confident in my recovery or the other hauling and moving about necessary to do the adventure. Right now I can paddle but getting in and out of boat is is b***ch, as is getting in and out of bed. I am more that willing to lay my money down before the end of January and count on clean living and lucky clovers to let me be 100% by the start, but I would like the option of a medical refund if I cannot do this thing safely.
So can I pay my entry but get a refund if I am not physically sound by the start? Otherwise, I guess I will have to bow out now and just come down to rec paddle and enjoy a three week easy paddle adventure. I am confident I can be sound with rest and physical therapy.
Respectfully,
Cwolfe
