Hey All! I would love to see the response from people on this question.
I am about to swim in my first meet in over five years. My preparation has been pretty good the last year or so. Plus, I am looking at this from a realistic standpoint of going out to have fun, swim again and see just where I am at in training. Not expecting lifetime bests or to light up the waters in my first outing.
When you all made the decision to race again(pool or open water) what were you feelings leading up the first meet? Excited, nervous,etc? And how did you cope with second thoughts, nerves, etc leading up to the meet, so you wouldn't have second thoughts?
Look forward to hearing other people's stories.

My first Masters meet was my first swim meet ever. I had been swimming seriously for about a year with a few breaks when meet day came. I was nervous but I knew that whatever time I posted would be a PB for me. The pool I swim at is in yards and the meet was SCM so that put a little more pressure on me as well. In the end I had a blast and was checking the PacificMasters website when I got home in search of the next meet.
