My best performances were with less than 2 hours sleep, when I was inexperienced (after swimming just 1.5 years in my life), and showing up late and unprepared.
Unfortunately my worst swims were when I was in my best shape, after 9+ hours of sleep, well rested, and prepared (last weekend:bitching:).
Take every chance you have to race because sometimes you'll want to but wont have a chance.
