I was forced to take time off from swimming. Only swam twice in the last two and a half weeks. Today I swam the 100 ten seconds faster than my previous PB. Anyone hear of not swimming, beer and pain pills as a recognized training regimen?

I had to take two weeks off earlier in the season and then went into a swim meet. I had personal best in all of my events. Someone said I must have a good taper.
IMHO, I think that it just means that you (and everyone else who cited their own stories) were rested....
I tend to underestimate the value of resting whilst training- I had to take time off b/c of family illness and when I came back, I was swimming stronger and easier than before...
When I commented to my husband that I has been swimming better, he simply replied,'you needed the rest.'
peace...
