R Knee, Impact wound / trauma

2007-07-29 – 2007-08-12

Grade: 2

Slipped and fell heavily on my side during the previous day's race, winding myself. I think I knocked the left side of my right knee too as it is quite badly bruised and painful to touch. Also forced me to walk the first part of the following day's race, and run only on flat, easy roads. Still quite sore 48 hours later, I now have a nice big "red circle" bruise.

Continued to run the S6D races on it - it hurt for the first minute or so, then subsided. Certainly made me go a little slower than I good for part of each race. Probably not very wise - but it's stopped hurting now altogether.
