Yikes.... rememebr to put a barrier between the ice and the body next time. Usually I wrap an ace bandage once or twice then put the ice down then finish wrapping the ace to hold the ice in place. It's icing and compression at once AND you don't need to hold the ice.

The stupidest thing I ever did was sign up for a marathon.

 

Seriously, my first marathon led to my second, which led to my 3rd, 4th, yada, yada yada, 10 years later, 148 marathons and I am still signing up.

 

 

 

 

 

Last year I read about a Iowan running in a Wisconsin ultra where he got frostbite in temps 15 below zero. He gave 2 toes to the cause, but he won the race!!!

To get frost bite in-doors. That's a good one. I hope they don't have to amputate.

Not sure if stupid applies, but I once arrived at a race with odd shoes. Fortunately a right & a left so I could still run.

I would call once a mistake, twice would qualify as stupid.

 

 

I once tried to jump over about a 4 foot puddle across a path about 500 yards into a 5 mile run, instead of running back 100 yards the road that ran along side of the path.  Needless to say, i landed right in the middle of the puddle and ran in one soaked shoe and one dry shoe that day.
