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?
It felt like my swim suit fell down below my waist on the breaststroke start at my last meet. Panic set in for the first 25 but I kept going and trying to feel the bottom of the suit as I recovered my arms by pulling far out past my shoulders. On the first turn, it didn't do a breastsroke pull-out, but a "pull-up". Fortunately, the suit was fine and had not fallen down.
The extra hand and arm motions were sure to ruin my time, but I finished the 200 in a good time for me. I think it was the rush of adrenaline in my 25-yd panic that made up for them.
