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!)
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.
