I won't be able to compete in an official meet until October, so this is essentially my first meet, the way my coach and I are treating it.
In that case, should I shave down for it...or am I still wasting time? My coach left it up to me.
Most "real meets" don't involve shaving down, though. Most people just choose a meet or two per year to taper and shave for. If the mock meet is going to be your taper meet then go ahead and shave down, otherwise skip it.
