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?
But, Donna, you're a distance swimmer and I'm a whimpy sprinter. The words "distance pentathlon" scare me. And I'm quite sure the last year of life has taken a lot out of me.
But I do have a teammate who a few years back swam the 200 meter fly dolphin-diving the whole way to score points for the team so that we could win a long course national championship in the medium sized club category. Now that's a class act!
