2008 Transformation Contest

Hello all!

I figure some of you might have noticed I’ve been quiet on Bodybuilding.com recently. I
have managed to injure myself pretty bad… A few days ago I rolled my ankle on the
elliptical. I figured I’d give it a few days of icing and rest and then hit it hard.
However, yesterday morning I could tell it wasn’t getting better. I went to the doctor
and I have 2 fractures in my right foot. I apparently re-injured my old fracture region
from late 2007 as well as fracturing another portion of the foot. The doctor wanted to
put me in a cast for the next 12 weeks, but in South Dakota weather that is just begging
for further injury. As such, I’m in an airboot, but with strict orders to limit movement
even in the airboot to a minimum.

Therefore, it is with great sadness, that I will resigning from the remainder of the competition. I will continue to focus on my diet, but training will be put on the backburner while I try and heal up. I wish the best to the rest of the competitors and hope that the male alternate, malibuilder, can step up and fill in nicely.

I want to thank everyone who took a chance on me, I’m sorry if my injury let you down.

Josh
