Ack! After my practice today, I clumsily dropped my monofin right on top of my toes. The blade left sizeable cuts on two toes, one almost requiring stitches. I bled all over the pool deck as I limped to the office for gauze and tape. The lifeguards were amazed: "How did you do that? What is that thing? (Answer: It's a monofin; I'm a masters swimmer.) What is a masters swimmer?" Not sure about my scheduled run for tomorrow am ... :shakeshead: Kind of a weird swimming "injury." I have bad MF carrying technique.
(Ande: I did plenty of shooters without the MF too!)

Just another reason why fins have no place around a swimming pool.
Just kidding with you, I hope it heals quickly!

You were ogling the guys weren't you..:lmao:
Feel better...
you are wearing it on your feet though, right?
You do recall that it is also a weapon, right? :duel:
I smashed my poor big toe at the track an hour ago. :frustrated: I am such a clutz. I probably shoulda got it stitched. :violin:

I feel for you! I too am an equal opportunity "tripper." One day, I tripped and fell on the pool deck just before masters' practice... I've also managed to do the same while running. So far, though, I haven't tripped while sitting still, but I'm working on that as my next event. :fish2:

After a mishap like that, I think I'd go home and do shooters to help deaden the pain.:wine:
I think I'm going to get a piece of rubber tubing and split it so it will fit over the fin edge so I don't have a similiar accident. I am very clumsy and always dropping things.
