I’m going to keep this short. I started inline speed skating again late last year and am training for a national competition later this year. I fell last night during a sprint exercise at practice and the first thing that hit the floor was my back… and the pain was instantly excruciating.
This short video highlights what happened, what’s hurt and where things currently stand. I’ve had a lot of falls throughout my many years of inline speed skating, but there’s never been a time that I physically couldn’t get up from a fall – that’s a scary feeling.
