I've been an amputee (BK) since age 18. I was born with a club foot, and as I got older and heavier I could no longer do what I wanted, and so I elected to have the surgery (more on that in another post). In the ensuing years I have endured the struggles of finding a decent prosthetist (which makes a HUGE difference), and dealing with what was some pretty old technology. But the entire time I was dedicated, as many of us are, to living a no limit life. I'll admit that my prosthesis was holding me back, and I found that annoying.
I've taken up swimming recently, and I'm hooked. I've learned a lot about basic technique, and will talk about (and ask about) mods for BK swimmers later. But today I had a great day in the pool. Why? Because for the first time I saw someone struggling to keep up with me! I toasted him.
We've just put up a Zazzle store with a bunch of HiPerAmp Race Team Gear. We're making tees, hoodies, and microfiber workout gear. Show-off your HiPer-ness while working out, on the bike, sailing or just hacking around. Check it out at http://www.zazzle.com/HiPerAmp. Much more to come, and we're always open for suggestions.....
