See Kirk, you shouldn't have left so early...
OK, I missed the guy smacking his head, but I did see Lincoln finish his race. I was changing in the locker room and heard all the racket on deck. I had no idea what was going on until I got out on deck during the end of his *** leg. That was great that everyone in the facility was cheering him on.
So I've got to assume the guy that smacked his head was doing backstroke? Because that would be quite an accomplishment to run into the wall swimming freestyle! :)
Fun meet. I drove south down the island on the way home and took the ferry. Of course I arrived just as the ferry was finished loading so had to wait 30 minutes for the next one!
I did not see the collision happen as I was still warming down, but I heard that he was swimming fly, his goggles filled with water, he couldn't see the wall, and he slammed into it. He had a small cut on top of his head. I think the possibility of concussion was the greater concern.
I just swam the 500 FR for the first time; my 12 y/o son ( who swims in 5:52) talked me into it - I assumed to laugh at how much slower than his time it would be.:afraid:
My splits showed my inexperience, but I was pleased with the overall time of 6:27.02 for my first effort.
100 splits were: 1:10, 1:16, 1:18, 1:19, 1:21 ( I was dying slowly...)
Best of all, my son didn't laugh and even said he was proud of me. :bliss:
Isn't masters swimming great!
