I wrote above:
we had an early return from the Valley yesterday where I blew an aid piece (second from the ground) and hit the ground hard, fortunately my ass cheek took the blow... but I did see stars when my helmeted head accelerated to a stop... now a nice large tender bruise is forming...
and somehow Gary thought that this would be a good place to post a picture, sort of like all of the other body parts pictures floating around... this is not pretty...
as the say on the funk tracks, ouch!

Hope that photo is a hematoma, and not a melanoma.

Ed, is that your ass or your head? The picture is not that definitive. :-))

Question(s): How fast do you walk? Relative to what? The earth? And how fast is that moving? Relative to what? The sun? And how...
Keep going, see where it leads you.
For those of you who know where it leads, dont post.
For those who dont, it can be a fun thing to do, there is a definitive final answer. Sort of.

Hematoma, that was the state last week, this week it is pretty much gone but for a small knot (which can hurt if it gets sit on the right way)
and my head has a lot of hair, which might lead you to suspect the same for the rest of the surface area... I probably do have more hair on my ass then most men my age have on their heads. And I have been accused of having both a fat ass and a fat head (though not usually in the same argument).
Be careful out there! that hurt big time, don't let it happen to you!

My sincere apologies to everyone on Super Topo for suggesting that Ed photograph his recent injury. He hit pretty hard on the pointed rock at the base of Church Bowl Tree. I was concerned at first because it looked like he hit his back. Fortunately it was just his "backside". I figured he had a pretty bad bruise and jokingly suggested that he post a photo. Ed asked if there were any volunteers to take the photo, none to be had in the gym that day.
So Ed, who took the photo?

Autotimer on my Ricoh GR-1, which is also a wide angle lens (28mm so I could claim it makes my ass look larger), with flash.
Debbie knew about it but wouldn't look for a couple of weeks... so I couldn't get a more flattering telephoto image and lighting.
As for the gym rats, they're all pretty light weight (even though it's SunRise) saying that they didn't want to see my bruise "in the flesh" as it were, of course I was prepared to drop-trou and show 'em all right then and there. No takers.

What a funny bunch, we are.
Once as a sprout, I decked ('Finally', Nautilus, Vedauwoo)on to a granite slab. Fortunatly the # nine hex on my rack broke the fall, cushioning my right nether cheek from the rock. couldn't walk right for weeks, I tired to peek, it was ugly. Avoided mirrors and cameras.
That's one bad, ass-bruise, ed.
