I just went to my first two-day meet this weekend, and I had a really rough time the second day. The first day I was able to to get personal bests in 2 of my 3 swims and was only about half a second off in the other, but the second day I was 1-3 seconds off in all three races. I was also a little sore the second day, probably because there was no warmup pool. Is there anything I should have done so I could swim faster the second day?

This is too true. Face it: you'll be dead. Warm down and imbibe muscle recovery stuff within 30 minutes of swimming. My last three day meet, I swam on days 1 and 3 and sat on the beach under an umbrella for day 2. This helped quite a bit. I do not find that a nice glass of wine at night hinders my next day in any way. (I still want to know why we do not have a wine icon....)
