stretching doesnt really help such injuries.



Hmmm . everything I know is wrong. I hate it when that happens.

Thanks for the news, peleschramm. I guess the trick is to warm up
gradually.

Your not wrong, just not doing it right.

When your muscles are cold, they are tight, and its bad to stretch cold
muscles. This is what tons of people do before they exercise or do
anything physical.

Properly, what you should do is warm-up, by jogging, jumping jacks, you
know, anything that is cardiovascular and will get the blood pumping
and body/muscles heated up.

After about 10-15mins of this, 5 mins if your rushing, then you can
start your stretches.

After stretching, you're good to go.

And like Pele was saying, after exercise, then you do more stretches.

So in short it goes, Warm-up, exercise, cool-down.

I usually do wear shin pads, but recently I haven't. Need to get back in
the habit of doing it. I'm thinking I need ankle guards too because my
ankle and around my achilles tendon has been a bit scratched up too.

New Year's Eve at 1600ish I'd just finished up a fairly hard 6 mile Muni
ride (after running a hilly ten miles earlier in the day) and was
pretty well tuckered out. But rather than stop and relax the rest of
the day, I changed clothes and grabbed my trials uni and went out front
to my home trials course, a couple of fun/tricky skinnies and some
other drop and gap things. Anyways the newest feature is this 8"
diameter crooked log that is about 20 feet long, it bends left, right,
up and down all along it's entire length; it is also elevated about
2ft+ end to end. Well, I should know better than to do tricky trials
when my legs are dead, but NOOO I had to attempt this big lines (for
me) and wouldn't you know it I my tire unexpectidly slipped off the
cooked log about half way through throwing me forward and down rather
faster than I could react and my face met the cooked log rather hard
about the same time my collar bone struck the cement pipe crooked log
support! It all happened so fast I didn't really piece together until
the next day what happened. Long story short I spent 7 hours in the ER
waiting room just to get 10 stickes in my lovely face between my mouth
and chin! The moral to this story: Don't do tricky i.e. potentially
dangerous, trials when you are tired and don't have your "catlike"
reflexes ready to go! Also don't go to the ER on a big Holiday! Or
ever! At least they had football on in the waiting room so rather than
sitting at home watching football I was at the ER...
