I went snowboarding this morning, like I've been doing every day this week. I take 3-4 runs then I go to work. Well, it's been a little icy, but I've been working on my speed and got some really great runs in yesterday.
This morning I got off the lift, there was about 2" of fresh powder (not much, but enough to cover the ice). I started off, gaining speed, having fun, then BAM! I don't know how I did it, but I was on a flat and I did a tumble-faceplant - bad enough that the guy behind me stopped to see if I was ok. My goggles came off, and when I stood up my ankle hurt. I thought I was going to have to heel down the entire mountain because it hurt to go onto my toe edge. I sat for a minute, pondering the situation. Then I got up, deciding to make the best of it. After a few minutes of carefully staying on my heel edge, I tested toe - not too bad. I was able to take slow, long turns and stick to an easier trail till I got to the bottom. Then I went to work - one lousy run, but I didn't want to push it.
Now I have a scrape on the bridge of my nose from my goggles, a swollen cheek, and a sore ankle. My boss said I should "get back on the horse" and go tomorrow - I will if my ankle feels ok. My new name here at work is Crash.
Gotta pay to play...
