Following a meet the Sat just gone I would like to share my disasterous experience with you all and to create a thread where people can share their similar dissapointing experiences...
I was all physced up to do 100BR - hoping for a new PB - dived in and - oh no my goggles start fill up! I completethe first 50 and just have to stop as I can't see the wall or anything. I of course get DQ, but was so angry since the goggles were fine in the warm up. As you can imagine for every other event that day I had my goggles strapped so tight I could have stopped my blood flow!
Anyone else want to share simillar experiences? Suits fallen off - stopped too early - wrong stroke?

This weekend I was al ready to swim sub 1 min on the 100 IM, but was hindered by a agonizing pain in my left ankle (possible fracture). On the block I new I would not have the full use of that leg, so I was trying to focus on pushing of with my right leg. During the dive I totally forgot to tuck and had my goggles in my mouth.
I swam the firts stroke freestyle, and flung my goggles off (I actually hit the forhead of the swimmer next to me).
My ankle washurting more than ever, and I had to switch to a breaststroke pull after the backstroke, could only push off with my right foot and ended in a 1.14!!
They had to lift me out of the pool and I crawled back to my corner, disgusted and in agony.
I won't bother you with the details of the rest of this meet. ( I had 6 more events to go!!!)
