Kelsi - From Two Knee Surgeries to Back on a Hotshot CrewAt Kelsi's most recent check-in we chatted about her terrific recovery from TWO knee surgeries and how she is stronger than ever going into fire season. She will return to her Hotshot crew on April 17. When she talked to her supervisor about returning after knee surgery he told her not to worry. Her last season she was stronger than many of her peers and she trained with us to prepare her. He had every confidence that if she was as strong as she was during her last season, she would be just fine for this season. One of the reasons for Kelsi's fantastic recovery is that she put her ego aside and really focused on what she COULD do and not what she could not YET do. She did the CrossFit Open and did all of the lower extremity adaptive workouts. She and Coach Dover worked together to come up with modifications that improved the range of motion, balance and strength of her knee while ensuring she was also improving her endurance and stamina. Kelsi is a sawyer and has to ruck with all her fire gear and a bog heavy chainsaw. She needs fully functional fitness to do her job.
