I'm glad that you and garmin are okay. I have two scars on my knee from a tumble last December. Occupational hazard, I guess. Yikes!

About 18 months ago I tripped on an uneven sidewalk while running quite slowly. and got an owie that looked like Flo's. Couldn't run for a few days. Since then I've fallen once again, in a race, and rolled without injury. I think that first fall was a learning experience for my reflexes :) My conscious brain also learned that sidewalks are dangerous, I now avoid them where possible.

I guess it comes with the territory. I had a similar spill 2 weeks ago during a 4mile race. I was soooo engulfed in the fact that I was in 1st place during the first 1/4 that I tripped over the pavement, landed face first with hands outstretched, did a flip and gouged my shoulder and hands. I fell miserably to the side as ppl started to pass and look in amazement!! I was SOOOO embarrassed. I got up and waved to onlookers and said "I meant to do that" and trotted on... So you have just been initiated!! Welcome to the club!!! Wow… thats a major nasty looking boo-boo!! I guess it comes with the territory. I had a similar spill 2 weeks ago during a 4mile race.

It's either that, or I've simply perfected the "Crap!" Drop and Roll move to spread the impact.
