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

YOU SWIM AT 4:30 AM:cheerleader:WOW
I thought 5:30 was early enough. I do my workout then head to work for 7:30 am. It will get better right.
Yes new toys are fun even if they are yellow. LOL. I could use a couple new suits myself. But will wait until I really need them.
Have a good swim tomorrow morning.

Yup, 4:30. Sad that I go to bed at 8pm! But then I can get in a full workout and my husband is not late for work. If I practice with the masters it's 5:30-6:30 and then he's late by 30 or more min.
This site has awesome suits http://www.eqswimwear.com/ I get her grab bag ones. They are lycra but last and last. I have one that is over a year old and I'm still wearing it.
