fucking tore my quad at the meet yesterday. so pissed. i really expected to be on the podium until this...watch the left knee at the bottom. if you read my lips at the same time my knee goes forward i say "what the fuck!" i thought someone punched my in the thigh while i was descending. seriously i thought it was a punch!! one of the spotters said he heard it. he thought my shorts got caught on something.
