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?
Ouch! That really hurts. But you are in good company, there was a swimmer in the last Olympic trials who broke her hand on the finish of either the 50 or 100 free, made the team but had to have surgery to repair the break. I think she was from Cal. It means you are finishing strong!
