DH has taken the 'Inspire A Generation' theme to apply to forty-something fathers in wheelchairs as opposed to lithe and resilient youngsters. We've had weeks of beating his 'PBs' in the gym and the pool which is great, but in the space of a few days he's tumbled backwards all the way down an escalator at Waterloo station - whilst on the way to watch wheelchair basketball he saw another wheelchair user successfully accomplish the feat and thought he'd give it a go - and face-planted the pavement when he hit a rough patch on an unaccustomedly long and fast wheelchair sprint home from the gym. Sigh.
With a nasty set of parallel gashes down his back and a fantastic black eye, he looks like a paralympic Jack Reacher!
