Many people doing hard core training like to train more than compete. So for them it makes sense.
This is a good point. For many who don't see a big meet as the only thing in their lives, getting back to training is just part of the lifestyle. Personally, I go nuts if I miss more than a day. I might go light or do something differently but sitting around just for the sake of sitting around doesn't work for many. For me, the day after a hard event is the perfect time for an EZ swim or a medium run.
