Second Injury

June 8, 2010: It is my first biking day after my hamstring pop recovery. The Thursday before this, I took a spinning class session to make sure I can do atleast 80% of my usual level of spinning and biking. And I realised that I am good to go an this Tuesday. So I pickup a time after my work, and the Washington Old Domenion Trail near Ashburn. The first 15 minutes, I take it very slow and decided to go next 15 minutes a little faster but under 10 miles an hr. Then the weard thing happened. I was not feeling sure of myself, weather I am doing it right or wrong. I was in almost the center of the trail. Ans I realised a runner running towards me in the next 100 years and so I slowed my bike then suddenly someone from behing the runner on a bike, trying to get passt the runner, on his process got into my way. And my muscle memory applied the brakes. But the problem is that the memory is from very very long time ago, where the driving is on the left side, and the left handle breake was the back brake and right handle brake was the front wheel.


You would have immagined correctly, I applied the front brakes more than the back and it send me over my handles. I realised I am air borne going over the habdle bars in slow motion while I am trying to stay back in my saddle. In a fraction of seconds I am on my both knees and right shoulder meeting the ashpault paved trail. My helmet took a secondary hit and my cheek in a mirracle missed a scrape, but I can feel the burn sensation. Luckiely its not a crash. My bike was still ridable after this. After about 45 minutes with my doctor office, I am cleared to go home with bandages on my knees and shoulder after checking with my records that my last letanus shot in 2008 is still good.

On my way home, I was checking my equipments and found my left hand glove missing a dime size of its materials. And my both shoes showed some type of scrapes and fabric tear, showing that without these equipments I would have received more scrapes in my arm and legs.

Even though this would have delayed my training towards the annual running competion, I am happy that the injury is minor and recoverable in time. And no fractures.

Sports Injury (Calf muscle)

I coach a youth Soccer team. We practice on Monday and Wednesdays. Today during my practice session, I was tackling a soccer ball in the mid full back position and dribbled fast moving the ball away from the penalty kick area towards right wing. Then I felt a pop in the calf muscle and first thought I was hit by a stone or rock in my calf and next thing I could n't move my right leg. I realized then that I have injured my calf muscle. I was able to move my toe so I managed to limp to my car and then started driving home. I could fee a numb pain in the calf but not bad as before. As soon as I get home, I had some banana, and a glass of milk and took a mild hot shower and then I began to settled down in front of the computer to search about the calf muscle injury. Since its already past 9 pm I decided to get a doctor appointment first thing in the morning if the condition worsens. Mean while I will take rest and continue applying the ice and compression if necessary. So far I have not taken any pain killer or antihistamine tablets.

During my search, I come across these useful link of Chadwick torn calf muscle page http://www.wachs.org/node/24 and the link in his page to http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/legpainandinjuries/a/calf-strain.htm also helpful.

And I wish I need not to go to this procedure described in this page http://www.conquestchronicles.com/pages/The_Achilles_Tendon_Injury. And I hope I need not to call my manager tomorrow to tell her that I stay home due to the injury. I hate to take day off unless its absolutely necessary.
