Don't have much meet experience. Going to the yonkers meet next weekend.
If I swim a 200 free first event, then a 50, will it ruin my 100 free if I want a PB in the 100 free? Assume 20 minutes between the 200 and 50 and 30 minutes between the 50 and 100.
I might be tempted to skip the 50. It takes me about an hr to recover between swims to swim maximally. 50s are funny for me. they generate more lactic acid than other races and sometimes it takes me longer to recover from a 50 than a 200. Then again sometimes I feel like I could jump out of the water and swim another 50 right away.I have been told that as a general rule you should cool down longer for a 50 than a 200 because of the greater lactic acid.
