Hit the wall today in practice. Do you eat before you go.

WOW I am tired. I hit the wall early in practice today but kept plugging along. I am a 41 year old female who has been out of the water for 22 years ( competitivley). I have been told that is common and it will get better.
How long to build up ones endurance and when does it get easier, though I know you will always have to push yourself. I just see some of the longterm swimmers glidding through the water like it is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo easy. I must admit I am swimming much better than I thought I would be for how long it has been.
I am swimming at 5:30 am. Do you eat before you go? and if so what.
I also have a bit of a lower calf cramp.
Tomorrows practice should be something :thhbbb:. But I am determined to do this.
I need to get in shape lose some weight and just really love the swimming. SIGH

Wow
So much to learn. LOL
I will try the chocolate milk. Once I am done swimming I have a 30 min drive to work. I have to kind of back track ( which is one of the reasons I did not swim before, because I used it as an excuse, not this year) so I need something while I am driving.
Todays swim was tough but awesome. I really enjoyed it. If I was not swimming with a Masters program I would not be doing 3/4 of what I am.
I feel like I am over the hump and just really getting into it. What a great feeling. Now if I can just get used to getting up at 4:50 , working, home, kids life and bed LOL.
