I proudly showed my boyfriend my bleeding when he got out of the lake from testing his wetsuit.
That's funny. The first time I tried ice skating, I was just standing in my skates, talking to somebody, and fell and tore my elbow. The first time I tried downhill skiing, I tore my ACL and MCL on the bunny hill and wound up on crutches for 6 weeks. I have to admit I was quite nervous about getting on a road bike!
