How's the body?

Working 6 nights a week is big fun, but I'm learning that it wears on the body after a while.
How are you all holding up?

I suffered an injury Friday night, Q1 BV on a routine transition from T - L took one step (POP) strained my hammy
I made it through the game but I felt like I didn't do a great job because I couldn't focus 100% due to extreme pain. I thought since I was hurt that it was showing...
Oddly enough after reviewing the film, I wasn't quite as fast but I didn't look half bad & couldn't tell that I was limping either.
I was shocked, it felt like everyone could see me struggling.

After soaking, heating, icing the hammy & a plethora of tylenol w/codine, I woke up Saturday morning preparing for an afternoon contest. My mentor (crew chief) had one of the JV officials hang around just in case but surprisingly, I made it successfully through that game as well.

Thank goodness I have 48 hours to recoup & recover before the haul is back on!

I really don't want to turn games back, but I don't want the strain to turn into a tear either. How long has it taken any of you to recover from a popped hammy?
