Having never swam competitively or trained for a big race, I was wondering if someone could explain to me why guys like Lochte and Kitajima layed big eggs at this meet. They were waaaaay below their world class times. Does it have to do with them not taking it too seriously or does it have to do with where they are in their training regimens at the moment. Maybe it is calculated? I just don't know a lot about this stuff.
They didn't lay eggs, they decided to train through the meet,
it's not a priority. christmas training is
if you watch the vids, Lochte wore a pink brief,
they didn't rest, they didn't shave.
It's part of their plans. They'll light it up for trials.
here's a recent interview with Lochte

he hints at what his Christmas training will be like.
Interesting. So when he says he'll do pretty much "nothing" for a month before trials, what does that mean? In other words how does one taper. Doesn't go in the pool at all? Or gradually lightens the workout load until he gets down to nothing.
