:blush: (I think an in-balance in hamstrings & quads ...not sure) so for me I really do have to watch what 'activities' I get up to pre-competition. Practice, practice, practice until you get those muscles balanced.:groovy:

:blush: Maybe I'm too enthusiastic! .....nah really I have issues with my pelvis (I think an in-balance in hamstrings & quads ...not sure) so for me I really do have to watch what 'activities' I get up to pre-competition. You have to work (out) hard on building your short-axis muscles / movement / undulations (even if you're a long axis, i.e., non-evil, swimmer).

Thinking strictly clinically (sp) ... I set out to once and for all answer this burning (and very popular) question. After much discussion, I somehow convinced my wife to help with this experiment. (used the "will benefit all man kind" line...she fell ....uh she agreeded to help) I then came up with a 3000 yard test set...and then began ...yes before, than next day..no before...my 6am morning workouts.. After one week I will say, my data is not sufficient to see any significant trends either positive, or more importantly negative.... I believe we need More Data, ... I will say my general demenor has improved, even if my swimming hasnt....will get back with you in ummmmmm.....November, with more complete results :blush:

I wouldn't know how to move this to a NSR Forum, so.......... OK, but how many minutes before the "On your marks" call? And, since this is FOR the competition, on the deck or under the stands? Is there a FINA or Masters (why not Mistresses?) rule?

Another saying of Franco's from the movie The Gumball Rally, "Some things are more important than winning." That about summs it up. Oh, yes he was talking about sex. Got Boost

I don't go to competitions, so the question that best applies to me is, can I still keep "practicing"? Often? I mean, why pay an entry fee if I don't have to - right? My new self affirmation: I will work more diligently on the hypoxic/tantric sets! I will reign supreme!

3strokes I was referring to my following post. Yes, George, the one about the racing stallion. I was trying to make a humorous link between your horse (horsing) and the bull (raging? and ice) that someone had mentioned in another recent post in the same thread.

3strokes I was referring to my following post. I once owned a standard bred race horse. Of course being a stud (nothing like Swim Stud) he would get very anxious before a race. So to calm him down he was bred to a mare the day he raced. If we did not do this he would be very excited and break stride during the race. He usually won the race, not break stride if he was bred that day.

It can't be bad...but if you're a distance swimmer does that mean you need a counter? :rofl:

Was this matter ever settled? People have had plenty of time to research and come to conclusions. Does it require further research? Are you asking for volunteers (volunteeresses)?

*bump* I'm actually going to be writing a paper on the debate about sex before a competition for a class, so this is another try to get free info without much work. ;) If anybody has read any good articles etc. if you could post or send me the link that'd be a huge help. Also, any more ideas is always good to help get all angles.

Back to this topic. I was bunged up for about three days before The 24 hours race in LaTuque Quebec and was not able to go to the bathroom. I found that Exlax was better than sex before that race.
