Once home, I took off my boots and went into my study to collect my knitting. I was a little unsteady and, on turning to leave the room, caught my right foot underneath the edge of the half-open door. The sock saved the toes from a skinnning but the middle toes are badly bruised.
It was Singing Aloud Class that night and, with the groin strain on the left and bruised toes on the right, I rolled down the street between the car park and the venue like a drunken sailor. I couldn't even do some of the physical warm-up exercises because either my foot or groin started to complain.
Apparently, groin strain is a common injury among breaststroke swimmers. Warm-up and cool-down stretches seem to be the answer, after a day or so of rest.
