Pulled right calf muscle being iced. Went flying on Wasatch (Deer Valley) access run. Helpful girl skier brings me my left ski and pole from fifty feet up the only slightly pitched run. My right ski, which remained attached to my boot, was responsible for the muscle pull. Notwithstanding some ache in the calf, I told the helpful girl that I didn't need any assistance from ski patrol. Stupidly, I skied four more runs through the pain. Now off the slope, the calf area is quite painful when moving, but no pain when immobile. TIMDT, after researching pulled calf muscles on internet, says I should refrain from skiing the next two weeks. Cause? The run was crowded. Likely my limited attention span, monomaniacal focused brain had too much information to process. Where is the Ibuprofen?
