Burned
February 22, 2009 | Filed under Body
I went swimming at the local pool today, swam 10km worth of breaststroke, and got this as a result:
It’s much worse in person. But, not as bad as the burn on my face, which is everywhere except for where my goggles were. I have a goggles burn, and will end up with a goggles tan. I. Will. Look. Like. A. Freak. MOTHERFUCKER.
Conclusion: Exercise for exercise’s sake should be strongly discouraged.

I had a burn like that a couple of weeks ago, when my school made me go to its annual swimming carnival. I didn’t even swim — I sat in the shade ALL DAY with SPF 35+ sunscreen on, and I got really, really burnt. My face swelled up. It was horrid.
I feel your pain. :(

Oww! Sunburns are awful. :(

Ouch D: Just looking at it is painful… Indoor pools, ftw.

You got that from SWIMMING? Wow. Whenever I get burnt, it’s from “tanning” on the beach. (But I kind of like sunburns, because I love peeling the skin.)
The worst burn I had was one on the backs of my knees – it made it impossible to bend them without extreme pain.

Aww ouch :[
I hope your goggle tan isn’t too visible… Hehe.

Sounds like any activity involving friction (like… rubbing against sheets forcefully?) will have to be put off for a bit while that heals…
And LOL @ goggles tan.

No pictures of the goggle tan? :(
But seriously, ouuuuch. That looks so painful. Three words: Aloe Vera & Yogurt!

nooo sunburn = DNA damage. Your natural repair mechanisms can only do so much.
but ouch, that looks so painful. I’m a chicken when it comes to sun, so it hasn’t happened. And I hope your goggle tan isnt too bad!

That’s never happened to me, but that’s probably because I don’t spend much time doing laps (read: never). :P

10km worth of breaststroke just for the sake of doing it? Woah, strong woman.
Looks like you need lots of Aloe Vera

I want to see your goggle tan!
That sentence sounds strangely dirty…I’m almost glad that I burn.

Indoor pool?

It’s so easy to get sun burnt in Australia. It’s crazy. If Im in the sun for an hour or more, I just go bright red.
Belinda on February 23, 2009 #
LMAO! A goggle tan is awful ;)

You should have used waterproof sunblock! Anyway, I always get a goggles tan, since I wear glasses :P

Wow that looks really painful!! :(

aww poor thing, I hope it feels better. Maybe that’s a lesson for you to use good sunblock. I’m a swimmer (although the weather isn’t nearly as hot as it is in Australia) and I always use good sunblock. You burn even harder in the water, especially with a little bit of wind.
