Family, friends....
I've attacked myself twice in 3 days. The first time was in Lucerne when I spiked my own hand.... I don't know, so please don't ask how!! I bled quite a bit. I had just changed my spikes so they were nice and sharp! Sand was in the wound. It was a mess.
So today as I planned to lift, I tended to my hand wound. I washed it with soap just like my mama said! I covered it with a band aid so I wouldn't get it dirty with the weight room bar. I took all safety precautions.
Well, where do I begin?! I had gone through most of my exercises in the weight room and was on the penultimate exercise, an olympic lift called a "snatch" I believe, where you lift the bar from the ground to above your head. On my bar, there was about 60 pounds. There are 5 repetitions in each set. So on my last set, and last repetition, my head went down, when it should have been up. So, visualize if you will, my head is down, and 60 pounds is coming up FAST. So basically I KNOCKED MYSELF OUT! Its a little blurry from there. I remember looking at myself in the mirror and spitting out pieces of my tooth, little pieces, but pieces none the less. Then I saw the wound. Silly me, I laughed. Then it started gushing blood. Who knew there was so much blood in the forehead! It went everywhere! Then, silly me again, I tried to walk, I don't know where I was going! I walked the blood seemed to come even quicker, and what did yours truly do as a result? I fainted.... Don't know if it was the excessive blood or the dizziness. But yes, I was out very briefly. Then of course, the tears flowed. Mostly I was embarrassed. I feel better now. Mostly I am concerned with my teeth and how I look with this gash on my forehead.
Well, that was my morning! Adventurous huh?! I wouldn't be me if something nuts didn't happen! So with all this said, I hope I heal before Berlin because I don't want to jump with a huge band aid on my head!
Well until next time Ciao
