Has anyone gone into a big swim meet, a shave and taper meet without doing any meets leading up to it? Im curious as to how things turned out. I have not been at a meet since March. I was outta the water and recovering from shoulder issues all summer. I have been back at it since August and shoulders feel fine. I am thinking I should do a masters meet, there is a good one this Saturday. The shave and taper meet is a USS meet starting on Dec. 7th.
There is the OSU vs. Mich game this Saturday. Whoever planned this meet on this day was not thinking and I know, it does not have the implications it could have.
So, should I swim the meet or go into big meet with no meets? I have been doing things for time in practice and its not like I have forgotten how to swim certain events, like the 200 fly.
Torn between swimming and the Bucks,

It's an interesting choice for an Ohioan:
swim a 200 butterfly in a practice meet, the pain of which--like child birth--will probably be forgotten by the time you do your next 200 butterfly, assuming at least 9 moths has past
stay home and watch an army of highly trained wolverines feast on a pile of mushy buckeyes
I agree with Ande: go with the meet. Amongst your two options, this one seems to be the less dispiriting.
