Typical length of meet

Having never swum at Nationals I'm curious approximately how long the meet lasts each day. Can anyone give me a ballpark figure?

    On a similar note.... I have never been to a national meet, but I am considering attending LC Nationals. I've been wondering: How do people spend their 8 to 12 hour day at the swim meet? Do you bring food? Do you leave and come back? Do you stay wet and chlorinated all day? How much warm up do you do? I guess you might warm up say 1500 - 2000 yards during the 7:00am warm up but what about for your event that starts at 5:00pm? (I'm weary just thinking about it!) I would be very interested to hear from people on how you spend your time during a long day at a meet. (bring a good book?)
