Has anyone ever thrown up while swimming in a race (or, hypothetically, the 10K postal toward the end), halfway down the lane, and, if so, what did you do?
Um, I'll just hypothetically say I had to do a puke/swallow keeping mouth shut thus ensuring no vileness entered pool and then stopped at other end of pool and drank a lot of water and then hypothetically hoped it would not happen again, hypothetically.
Then I was wondering, hypothetically, if one pukes while swimming in a race but does not cause puke to go in pool and thus ruin entire meet or cause entire facility to be shut down, but does a hypothetical puke/swallow followed by water and amnesia, does this mean one is now a real athlete? Is this a common thing swimmers pushing themselves hard run up against midpool during exertion for long distance swims? Even the 1000 free has felt close to this level of hypothetical situation for me.
Ah, fond memories... :oldman: the closest I've come was back in college when I finished a 1650 and then vented some bile into the gutter. Small price to pay for staying just ahead of the same guy for the entire race... After a different 1650, one of my teammates mentioned that he'd thrown up twice during the race. No one else seemed to have noticed.
