First injury today as a derby girl... not even derby-related! :(
I was free-climbing (apparently known as "bouldering" to the hipster climbing types) a rock wall and got a little scared about how high I had gotten.
(At this point, I should probably mention that I'm scared of heights.)
So I jumped, cat-like, onto the mat below. And by "cat-like" I mean with a howl, minus the finesse.
Except the mat wasn't as padded as I was expecting, and my ankle somehow rolled beneath me. It hurt right away, but I didn't really notice it until later. I don't know what to do about it, aside from "resting"--- would it be ok to skate outside on it? Today is Friday and I won't have practice 'till Monday evening, when I can ask our resident physical therapist. Ergh.
Many more bruises and bumps to come, I am sure (and probably even some that are derby-related!).
P.S. Did you know that when you climb a building it is called "buildering"?? Ha ha ha! (source)
