Hi!
I was just wondering - what all do you guys do when you have back to back events? This weekend - I have the 200 IM and 100 Back seperated by only two heats. What advice do you have to offer... I know my butt is going straight into the warm down lane, but any thoughts?
:help:
Thanks,

I don't see how you can truly hope for good results in both races. I like IMs and hate back so I would go for it on the IM and do whatever I could on back.
If I were a backstroker and wanted to do well - I simply would not swim the IM with that little rest. I'd hate to do badly in my favorite event.
I'm honestly not striving for best times at this meet, I like IM's and I like Backstroke. Anyways, I just got back in the pool this past September after being out for over a year (I feel GREAT, btw) - I've been to one SCM meet this season and this meet is SCY (thank GOD).
I'd like to see if I can even survive the 200 IM in the first place (for future meets), plus I've made strong advances in my breaststroke (I was one of those swimmers who swam *** so slow, I went backwards - but now it's a lot better - moving forward)... if my 100 back is a little slower than "normal" - I will obviously know why. I'll be swimming it many times before State - so I am not too worried. If my shoulder feels bad in the 100 IM (earlier in the meet) - I'll scrap the 200.
That's the game plan!:woot:
