limping is tedious

posted Friday, 5 August 2005
It would be great if I could wait until the first injuries healed before hurting myself again.

Tonight it was falling during the third turn on the track. Every turn had felt wrong, off-balance, but I'd kept going because I'd gotten the lead, was half a track ahead of the other jammer, was finally making myself proud. And then came the third turn and down I went, right onto the knee I destroyed last fall. Now it's back to the ice packs and knee brace and crossed fingers that everything will be healed and back in place by the time Madison rolls into town.
I have only myself to blame.
