Break after a big meet

How long do you take after a big meet? I've found that I've had a problem after a big meet like nationals or in this case Pan Ams to get back in the water. Do you typically take some time off before getting back in the water or do you get right back in the Monday after?

  • I only do open water swims. I never swim on the day after one, and I may take a second day off, but no more. When I was younger, I could take a couple of weeks, and be fine. At 48, even one week off feels like starting all over when I get back in the pool. My body won't do it.
