Strange Injuries

I managed to bust up my knee kayaking. Jeez....shoulders I understand, but knees? It all started back in June when I ran the Top Tye. There's a ledge called Initiation that must be run with a hard right to left move. Unfortunately the flow goes left to right directly onto a rock, as did I. This was a full-on come to a dead stop peton. My knees hurt for months - bone bruise, I assume. Just about the time they started to feel better my right know starts to be "ping" when I walk. I've never had knee problems before, but I guess that story is macho enough.

Here's a great shot of Initiation by Brian Vogt on his Riverlog site.


So what other strange injuiries have people experienced?

Back in the Saddle Again

I haven't posted for a while, what with spending a week in British Columbia. That was great! The full trip report is available at http://www.kayakcult.com/.
