Just to show you lot the state of my knee after a little crash yesterday! As always it's the little ones that catch you out!
Having just done a good 10/12 miles and hitting bigger stuff than this, I decide to do another run having just jumped the tabletop not two minutes prior, however this time things didn't quite go to plan. All got a bit out of shape mid air, front wheel slid out as I landed and went straight down onto my right knee. At first it didn't feel too bad, and one of the other riders shouted over to ask if I was okay, I stood up and shouted that I was fine. However I then looked down and promptly said that I wasn't fine!
What stood before me wasn't pleasant, while it might have been my knee, it was a bit of my knee that I didn't want to see, my kneecap!
I looked back to where I'd not so gracefully landed and realised what it was that I had landed on... slate! Well that explains a lot, hard and sharp, not good!
All fine now after a trip in an Ambulance, plenty of gas and air, local aesthetic, morphine and 9 stitches! I think it must be karma after looking at some kneepads the other week and deciding that I didn't 'kneed' them (oh dear, terrible pun!)
