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

overall i had a total blast. got love the 18-24 age group- my 200 back wasn't even a full heat!
Enjoy that 18-24 age group. Wish that I had taken advantage but there were two obstacles : 1. college and 2. medical school. I wish that I could go back to even the 30-34 age group. There are some excellent swimmers but it doesn't have the depth of the 35-39 (mine) or the 40-44 age groups...Of course it wasn't that way a few years ago. Oh well it just inspires me to keep getting faster...
