Falling Over?

[AllanT]

I have a friend who falls over almost constantly. He seems quite used to it!

Is that friend infact you??? Stay off the booze mate.... ;-P

I was up in Scotland with him the other week and he said, i'm going to put my crampons on in a minute. When i turned round to answer he was lying on his back on the ground!

I fell at the top of North Barrule In last years Manx Mountain Marathon. The first hill in a 31mile fell run. I was up and running very quickly because i didn't want anyone to see me! It really hurt though.

I fell coming off Carraghan(?) (the hill before you cross the road/river...steep heathery and muddy field at the bottom). I went over a couple of times, the second was face first into sheep poo

I don't fall over much when running, but I'm great at falling off my bike

I'm a highly skilled faller overer - its the running bit that I need to work on

.....and those of you who have been on the forum long enough know what happened the last time I fell over badly.

I fell yesterday.

I'm looking forward to the infinate swelling going down and being able to move the right side of my body again....I can live with the MASSIVE bruises, grazes and cuts but the aching.....Owwwwwch!

(yep feeling very sorry for myself today AND it's another pair of tights ruined )

but when Em falls she does it so gracefully....

[Wheeze]

Yes, how is the arm Mr Anorak??

When I fall, I do it properly!

My last fall was on the roadbike, at about 48 kms an hour... and I had a lovely hole in my head. Thankfully my buff is predominantly red, so you did not see the huge bloodstain on it

The time before last I tore my ankle ligaments streight off and the time before that I dislocated my shoulder, both these fell running... the time before that I fractured my tibial tuberosity at the start of Man v. Horse and still managed to race it quite well. Well, who needs a tibial tuberosity, right?

Me, accident prone? NAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Wish I was graceful yesterday Ian....the earth moved
