bruise thumb?

Unread postby njvaulter » Sun Jun 22, 2003 8:30 pm

After a day of vaulting I noticed that my left thumb near the bottom and the inside of my thumb hurts. It's kinda red and hurts when i press it. Does this happen to anyone else and does anyone know why this is happening?

I used to get a blister there. For me it was a combination of holding the pole too tight, and not letting it roll to the side when i jumped. As soon as i let the pole open, i stopped getting a blister there.

Just a teeny little fact for future reference, I am a female ;) So then you won't refer to me as :star: man :star: lol
And fights on the net are stupid, I agree w/ you on that.
I'm out tho, bedtime for me! My baby is coming tomorrow and I gotta get some sleep! :heart:

Yeah some of don't get the "cool slang" like "nasty" or "u look dumb," so we take things at face value...

Maybe someday I will be cool enough to get it... nahh probably not :P
