No Fog and Fog

Tuesdays practice was pretty run of the mill. The windows of my car were frozen over of course. cold cold cold for the first few miles.

I got some antifog liquid from a friend who is a psychiatrist. It is a fluid that is to be used on medical insruments like mirrors so they dont fog. It works great. One application and it last for a long time. I don't know if it is approved for use around the eyes though- I had a bit of water in my goggles and when I switched from freestyle to backstroke the little bit of water that had been sloshing aroung the lens (and getting contaminated with the antifog) now was bathing the outside corner of my eyes. It didn't burn right aweay but felt funny while at practice. The burning and the foggy vision started later, while driving home. In the shower I flushed my eyes out the best I could. I didn't want to show up at the middle school looking like I was stoned with red eyes but what could I do. The foggy vision and the burning lasted for a few hours.


I gave some to mike in the next lane. I hope he didn't have a bad time with it. Sorry mike!


Must be carefull to not get water in the goggles.
