injury and pr in same week?

Unread postby KYLE ELLIS » Mon Jan 22, 2007 4:40 pm

so i almost killed myself at practice after the tape tore off the pole which caused my right hand to slip off which led to the pole wacking me in the arm which led to me getting stitches in my left elbow. (you could see the muscle tissue) two days later i jumped a pr from 4lefts in practice (15'11). then i pr'ed at our home meet two days after that (17'0.75) i had a delayed onset of soreness and i felt like crap the day of the meet. has anyone else had a significant inury and pr in the same week? im sure there are some good stories.

I fractures 4 cervical vertebre and had to wear a halo for 3 months. I ended up jumping 5.50 that season.
