A nonconvential way to workout (and cause injury)

I was invited to go play on the science team for faculty wars to celebrate the end of the semester along with Nog Fest.  We were playing dodgeball, and it kinda conjured up images of my old high school gym teacher telling us that Dodgeball is not an adequate form or exercise.  So on the night of we played our first game, we were using these rhino skin balls, which fly unbelievably fast but don't hurt when you get smoked with them.  The problem with having such light balls is they tend to catch a bit of wind when you throw them and veer off at an angle.  Makes for a sweet throw if you can replicate it.  So the cool thing with these things when you're older is certain rules change.  For examples, it goes from Head Shots are not allowed/valid/legal to headshots are ENCOURAGED.  I may or may not have been deliberately aiming for some people's heads (hey I'm sure they did the same thing).

I knew that my arm would for sure be sore just because I don't usually throw stuff that much, but who knew that there would be an entire list of injuries.  I pulled my hammy and glute on the left side, tweaked my knee, and then have a sweet battle wound from trying to catch a ball (more on that in a sec).  This wasn't even the next day and it already hurt lots, this isn't boding particularly well.  Unfortunately our team lost in the playoffs, but I mean hey it was a ton of fun.  In the last game we were losing pretty badly at which point I got the brilliant idea yes I can catch that ball, no problem right?  Well I dived for the ball, at which point I realized that I would be going down onto the ground.  The option at this point was to belly flop and slide or tuck and roll.  Channelling my inner starfox (do a barrel roll!) I did exactly that as that is what the sane/logical thing would be to do.  Unfortunately the role worked, but the ball came popping out after I was on my back again (Apparently muttering "come to papa" does not in fact make the ball come, shucks).  I was out, but at least the entire team got to see a wicked barrell roll and everyone knows about it, and it was a valiant effort.

It is now the 2nd day after, and I still feel like I have been run over by a truck, my back's sore, legs are sore, knee still hurts, arm's sore.  Who knew that dodgeball is so physically intense, both in terms of getting smoked with balls as well as taxing the body.  Annnnndddd back to studying
