Last week, I fell and fell HARD off of a pull-up bar doing kipping pull-ups during a warm-up. The warm-up people, the WARM-UP. I can't even claim that I was in the throes of a hard workout - nope. I was just making sure that I had my kip down. Turns out - I didn't.
Pride wasn't really my whole issue - although it was definitely a part of it. My biggest problem was lack of focus. I figured that I knew what I was doing enough to not need to give it my full focus. As I was staring up at the ceiling from the flat of my back - I realized that I should have been giving 100%. Instead of thinking about what I was doing - I was three steps ahead instead of being in the here and now.
I am currently paying for my lack of focus. I slipped off the pull-up bar on while kipping and landed right on my back. According to my chiropractor and PT, I've got a deep bruise, some sprained ligaments and jarred my hip pretty darn hard. Sitting, laying down, standing - it's all some level of uncomfortable. But... it is getting better. I'm optimistic that in a few days, it will be fine (keep your fingers crossed for me anyways because this walking like an old person is just not cutting it!).
An additional downside of maiming myself? I missed the Mustache Dache. I went and cheered the team on but I was obviously not running it (my chiropractor actually told me that I wasn't even allowed to think about it). But here's a picture of the amazing team from Sound CrossFit:
