What do people think is the ideal number of events to swim per day at a meet? It seems that, for local meets, you're allowed to enter up to 5 events. That is way too many for me. I'm always gassed after 3 or end up scratching an event or relying on caffeine. Yet, I'd like to get more times in different events without traveling the countryside to go to zillions of meets. So, how many is too many if you want to swim fast?
For me, anything over 3 events/day total is pushing it. But, some on our team like to load up and go for it all. If there is an event that I'm really working on, I will go very light on that day. If there's an event that is just throwaway, like, say, the 500 free, I will swim all other events that day even if it means a subpar time.
I know some sandbaggers who only swim one event a day and then feel the crush of humiliation when I stagger to the blocks for the 500 and beat them like a drum.
Oh yeah, only a Canadian would use the term bruised plum. Is that a favorite color of lip gloss?
