I think my 50 BR today was cursed:censor:.First I thought I was finally going to get to wear my Jaked at a Nationals.It went on fine,but as I was gently adjusting it,it exploded in the buttocks area.I ran to get my back up LZR and got it on and hurried down for my heat.Then as I was putting on my goggles the strap broke.It was too late to get a back up pair so I swam without goggles.As I stood on the blocks I thought"no big deal,I swam without goggles all through college."As soon as I took my first stroke i realized that in college I swam with my head up and now I swim with my head down and that I really couldn't see the wall.I'm pretty happy to have been under 31 considering that my turn and finish were by the Braille method. The 100 fly was better,1:04.8,a PB:bliss:
Congrats. on the PB, Allen! I missed that race, because we decided to try to beat the traffic back home. Beat the traffic, and, fortunately, got home JUST before the storm hit. (Got caught in it this morning, though... :bitching: )
Anyway, I posted a reply to your PM before I read this post. I can relate to your turn "by the Braille method". That's how my turn felt. I didn't see the wall well (so much for my anti-fog goggles fogging; I'm going for the dab of baby shampoo tomorrow) and my timing was bad going into it.
Neither of us got PB's in our 50... :bighug:
Sorry to hear about your suit AND goggles! :bitching: :bitching: :bitching: :bighug:
Tomorrow will be BETTER!!! :cheerleader:
