Question: How do you feel the day after a hard swim/ swim meet or time trials?
We had time trails yesterday.
I swam well, took about 2 sec's off my back, and 1 sec off each free.
50 yd, back .34
50 yd free - .29
100 yd free- 1:05
This morning I'm stiff and hungry which has made my stomach feel a little shaky.
I'm not a big breakfast eater, but munching on crackers is making me feel better.
I'm not swimming today ( which was already planned) by will be back on Thurs.
I'm just wonder is it me or just getting older or both?
Concho, I am hit or miss for post-event soreness. Some soreness is worse than other times. I am not observant enough to know what the source is, but I think stretching before, during and after seems to help.
Food-wise, oddly enough, i actually tend to gain weight on the day of a meet. I make sure to eat breakfast and if i remember, i'll have a power bar or granola bar or mom's blueberry muffins (my meet favorite) in my bag waiting for mid-meet consumption. Then afterwards, I'll eat everything in sight.
