Am I crazy for thinking this isn't totally crazy? If so many of us are sore, wiped out, etc., from multi-day meets, then perhaps we're not training for them right.
That's basically what Jazz Hands and Speedo do now -- only race simulation training. I couldn't do that every single day without breaking down. Though I will do back to back AFAP speed workouts very week. It's still hard to simulate the mix of adrenaline and real racing at meets in practice. But, yeah, doh, you should practice racing in practice!
I feel like utter crap after multi-day meets. It's not just racing fatigue and muscle soreness; it's the adrenaline and the lack of good sleep that contribute. But I sometimes still swim well during my first workout.
