Okay, continuing the "less is more" theme, what does Paul (and anybody else) consider to be the ideal warmup at a zone or nat champs-type meet for a sprinter (bearing in mind always, that it can be a gong show trying to what you want in crowded conditions).
Peter, personally I don't feel there is any "ideal" warm up for either a meet or in workout. For me its a matter of warming up till I feel ready to swim fast...at some meets that has been less than 500 yards (I will however always do a mix of swim, drill, kick, fartlek)...conversely some workouts I've never gotten warmed up...and this season for weeks I feel has entirely been warming up!
