Did anyone notice that the paramedics were very busy at Nationals?
I saw a lady dislocate her shoulder
My teammate badly dislocated his finger and broke it
Another, broke his toe
Another whacked his foot on the wall
I saw an older lady bleeding profusely
I, myself, forgot to breathe the first 80 or so yards of the 200 back, hyperventilated, and had paramedics...
And that's just what I saw! I certainly wasn't there the whole time. Anything else, or was it mostly my team? :p
I needed the medics the night of returning home. I did pretty well staying out of the sun (just a nice shade of pink) until after my last event (the 200 free) on Sunday. Then my wife dragged me over to the beach for about an hour. Needless to say, about 1 am I awoke and needed something for the sunburn!!! Luckily, someone at the meet told me the white vinegar trick. I slapped some on and was able to sleep the rest of the night. Thanks for the advice!
