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

Hi Beth,
I was also embarrassed because of our conversation just before in the warm up pool- do you remember? Outside smoke, crash and burn- I didn't think it'd really happen. Oh well. I learned.
Thanks for watching and your concern. And thanks for telling me the conversation Kerry was having! I didn't get the audio!! :p
Pat was trying to tell them I was just hyperventilating...
next time.
BTW Miss National Champion- you are AWESOME! Congratulations. You are soooo fast. Way to go. :)
I was serious when I told you to be "outside smoke" hoping you could win your heat in an outside lane! You were doing close to that until your 150!! I'm sooo sorry that happened to you! If you get your breathing down on your back....watch out!! ;)
Thanks Karen! I'm still smilling and pinching myself. Nationals was great!! I just wish we could have talked more!! We were all so busy trying to stay in the shade we didn't get to see each other much!
I'm so proud of you for getting right back in the pool and racing your little heart out! Good job on your swims!
