RUN race (Blodslitet) 5:00 [3]
Started well, got into the map and then.........
Note
(injured)
I slipped over, there was this stick/stump sitting up out of the ground about 500mm, that I fell on. It penetrated the skin under the armpit.
I lay there for a min thinking something was not right, there was some blood and a lot of pain, so I had to get back to the assembly area, about a k, once I got back there, I sat down, and promptly fainted.
This put the wind up the organisers, when I came to, they had a car organised, and 3 chaperones, we went to Daylesford Hospital, cant remember much, except it seem to take ages. Once there, the concern was wether it had gone through the chest cavity into the lung, and wether I was bleeding internally. All the test seemed to indercate that all was OK, but as a precation, I was taken by ambulance to Ballarat Hospital for Xray, no internal damage, so that was good. But then, they still had to operate, to remove any foreign matter, got out of the theatre about 8pm, and given the all clear, looks like it penetrated 60-70 mm, but no major damage, no running exercise for the rest of the week.
Oh Well, I was lucky, it could have been a whole lot worse
