What are your thoughts on this. Had a great week in practice. Great times in repeats. Did a 400scm time trial on Friday and was within 6 seconds of my meet time in the 400!! Felt great. Had a meet today (Sunday) and my 500 free, (the only event I swam) was 10 seconds slower than I think it should have been. Twelve seconds slower than my best time at last years nationals.
I am usually at my best when I swim the first event of the day. The 500 was the last event. I did not arrive at the pool until 1:00 and swam at 4:30. I ate my regular breakfast and lunch and kept hydrated.
So, chalk it up to experience?, bad body rhythms, not enough food? What say you???

Wayne,
Thanks for your thoughts too. I think you are right on. My wife said to me right after the 500 that it looked like I was having trouble breathing. I didn't really notice until I had finished the race and was weezing at the wall.
The other Olympic Gold medalist was, of course, Parry O'Brien, the great shot putter. Who else?
