Swam four events in a meet yesterday (actually five with the relay they threw me into). It was my first real meet in 22 years. My first event was the 50 ***. I came to the wall on the finish and reached out to get the touch pad. I tagged it and jammed my right index finger. OUCH. Didn't think it was that bad. It was sore, but I made it through my other events. Still sore all night. I iced it a bit last night, but this morning it's very swolen an brused.
This is not the first time I've done something like this. I once broke my foot hitting it on a gutter on a flip turn.
Did I mention I don't have any depth perception? And did I mention that I'm an idiot?
If I don't jam a finger at least once a year, it tells me that I need to work on finishing my races harder. Nothing idiotic about it, the occasional jam comes with the territory. Blowing a race because you coasted into the wall, on the other hand....
