Mitch's road to recovery






OUCH






















Good as new










I caught up with Mitch Anderson yesterday evening.
Now most of us at some point have suffered from road rash. ( very unpleasant and painful)
Mitch doesn’t like to do things by halves and 3 weeks ago (in his build up to IM Australia) he had a wee accident when he stopped his bike using his face as the breaks. (PAIN)

Mitch had the accident in central Melbourne (Docklands precinct) when out on a training ride.
He has made an Impressive recovery and his face is back to normal. He probably got favoritism because he’s a Doctor . Where the rest of us would be scar face's, Mitch looks like he stepped out of a salon!!! He probably deserves it after 12 years of studying.
For skin issues… just ask Mitch!!! He has the remedy!!!!!

lets hope Mitch has a great 2009 season, he certainly deserves it after a troubled 2008 season where he buggered ( not sure of the medical issue) his Achilles, which left him on crutches come Kona time .
He seemed pretty mellow and in good spirits yesterday so hopefully thats a sign of a good race ahead.

Mitch trains full time and also does one all nighter (doctoring) shift at the hospital every week. Although he does admit to having naps during his shifts . He needs them because after his shift he meets Luke Bell at the local café for a long ride. All night shift at the hospital followed by a long ride = PAIN

He's a busy boy, having just finished renovating his house, training full time , working and writing for triathlon Multisport sport Magazine . He’s yet to do a feature on me. But I’m sure that will come soon, right Mitch!! (probably will once he reads my dyslexic chicken scribbles, not sure it will be a good thing)
