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.
Man, I must be nuts. I used to be a hard core distance swimmer. Maybe that's the differance. I used to puke all the time at workouts. Sometimes just a little in my mouth, some times it would get into the pool. I would try to get it in the gutter but some times it just comes.
My best two were: I remember doing a 3K for time and puking off of one of the walls and one of the girls told the coach after it was over. He half smiled and asked me if I puked, then said: “Gabe, lets aim for the gutter next time.” I also remember puking on my friend on a set of 10 x 100’s all out on 6:00. We were on #8 or so and I let it out just as I pushed off the wall. He was following me doing backstroke and got done and was like, “man, did you just puke? That was some chunky stuff.”
Just the other night I though I was going to puke swimming 6 x 100 broken at the 50 sprint with :10 rest at the 50. I just like pushing myself past the limit I guess…
