Here's a story:I am not a drinker, I go out sometimes, but all I manage is like, a beer or two, pretty much i do that to socialize...Anyways, last time I went out "hard" was months ago and last nigit I just decided to let loose a bit and have some fun with my friends.Well, I did not restrict myself on the booze, so I ended up getting really drunk.Today I had a bad hangover and all those things related to a fun drinking night like that...
I wanted to get myself in order and decided to still swim today(I just got back from practice and actually feel like new:))).So I was doing my regular stuff and then decided to time my 50 meter breaststroke to see how much I would suck because of the alcohol the night before.Well, off I go... hit the wall, stop the clock and guess what - personal best, and not just slightly improved, but by 3 seconds!!!I was shocked.I hope it was not related to my night of drinking, because I was swimming very hard and did not time myself in *** for 3 weeks, but still ... that's 3 weeks and 3 seconds.Oh maybe my day off from swimming yeasterday worked as a little taper,lol(I hardly skip a day of swimming, I have very few days off) and my muscles were rested or something - but hey, I was hung over.
Just weird!!!

Well, Dima I am not sure that there is any correlation between the drinking and the loss of time on your ***. I personally have had really bad experiences when combining a hangover with swimming and most of them involved being really sick to my stomach. My old coach used to describe drinking alcohol as poisoning your body and then asking it to perform. I tend to agree, but that is just my opinion and my experience.
It sounds like you have been working really hard over the past months and that is why you are doing better!!
