Raced around shower, got injured (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sprained

'injured' is the definition.
(spraining is a kind of injuring)

'raced around shower' is the wordplay.
'raced' becomes 'sped' ('speed' can be a synonym of 'race').
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'shower' becomes 'rain' (synonyms).
'sped' placed around 'rain' is 'SPRAINED'.

'got' is the link.

(Other definitions for sprained that I've seen before include "Wrenched a ligament, causing pain and swelling" , "Ricked" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
