I was feeling great on the water training here in Gran Canaria for almost 2 months prior the Gran Canaria PWA World Cup. I’m stoked about all my progress. I really pushed myself hard these last two months and my jumps feel better than ever.
Unfortunately, a week before the event I broke a bone in my foot 😫
I consulted some of the top traumatologists and they said I might be able to sail regardless. They said the fracture should remain intact even when sailing, if I don't have a crash again.. The only problem was the pain. I would have to push though a lot of it given the 5th metartsal snapped in a place just under the footstrap.
I signed up hoping the forecast would come towards the wnd of the comp to give me at least 2 weeks for recovery.. Unfortunately it came on day 2 of the event. I tried sailing on day 9 since breaking my bone. I even went for forwards and backies but pain was making it impossible to sail. I was screaming through the tops turns trying to make it through to top 8.
I didn't manage, but I have tried my best. Because there's nothing more I hate than giving up without a fight.
Now it's time for recovery and hopefully I will be up and running for the next comp in Tenerife.
Huge thank you to everyone helping out 🙏 @manca_koster and @philip_koster for lending me the air-boot and for all the tips and tricks on sailing with an injured foot 😅, @daida_fisiomt for doing everything she can to speed up the healing, @dr_windsurf for organizing all my gear when I couldn’t walk and all the foot trauma specialists around the world who offered their invaluable advice 🙏
