I think it’s important and fair that you point out that protecting the head is the top priority. Head injuries aren’t always immediately apparent, but they can be fatal—especially from a severe impact—and can cause a concussion and lead to significant long-term damage.
I also think it’s important to remember, as you did, to pace yourself and know when to take breaks. Rest is essential for building muscle and for recovery, so you can maintain a consistent level of effort over the long term.
