Well bootcamp, it had to happen, on a qualifying round I was taking on the obstacle course and got to the one called pole vault, it is chest height on me and I found it quite difficult to get over,
It was tough but I determined to do it, however seconds from disaster is the next photo, quite honestly I have no idea what happened but I slammed my left chest into this pole with immediate pain.
Well although injured I pushed on, come on it is a timed event, so i did the nasty tires and then the rope climb...so did I make it.....NO
5 seconds to late, I was required to run this course in 4:15 and I took 4:20, dammit to hell. So okay always next time.
Now there is no immediate return to this course because I have bruised and /or cracked ribs on the left side of my chest.
Mental note to self...You are nearly 50yrs old not 15 STOP DOING STUPID STUFF.

That's what I said to myself earlier this year when I fell on a trail and bruised my sternum and ribs...I'm 47 not 27...but still we don't learn. I hope you recover soon from this Dave. Take it easy!
