Saw this thread and just had to reply.....

Doing a nice easy longish run on Saturday and took a fall on a rocky bridlepath and landed on chin, ribs and sticky out bony bits of pelvis (yes, practically totally missed hands and arms). Wasn't aware of falling just of 'BANG' - chin hitting ground. Gash to Chin, Unable to lift my right leg due to pain in groin, very shook up and ended in A&E. Doing OK, healing well and managed a bit of a shuffle this morning.

RE kit carrying: Weather was glorious too, but having said that I was well kitted out carrying windproofs; waterproofs; hat; and gloves; put all of them on after I fell and even with a great response from event organisers and was still shivering / shaking for about 2 hours.

Beginning to think I'm a definate faller ... .... can tot up 6 fall in last 8 months

Record is falling about once every 4 races, even fell once going uphill!!!
Never too bad just training, fall off bike though. Not good at descending, still learning that dark art.....

I'm another one who runs in glasses, (can't see anything without them), the worst problem is when they steam up in the wet, and I can't tell what ground I'm running on, I fell at Bulls Hill a couple of years ago in the mist and did a couple of ribs in, andf that was on flat ground. I also did some ribs in the previous year at the tour of rivington, although that was due to taking a bad line through a kissing gate.

[are we nearly there yet?]

do you think it happens when you are the most tired-i know i become very clumbsy at this point?
