I *think* I know the answer to this but I wanted to confirm -
Getting ready to swim the 25K USMS OW swim next Saturday. And yeah, yeah, I know everyone on here is going to say that doing the 25 is crazy. But it will be done. :wiggle: Insert loco smiley here.
I also signed up for USA-S GA Senior State meet which is 5 days after the 25K. The meet is the following Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Is it just asking for an injury to race that soon after the 25K? I've never done that kind of distance before. Or can I swim a couple of events (I will scratch finals) if I feel fine and nothing is hurting me? Or should I just expect to feel terrible for a week after the swim?
I've never been in better shape in my life. That's probably a good thing with the 25K coming up.
Thanks!

You're Special K remember, you can do it!
I think like others fatigue not injury is the worry. that said. rest before, take a diligent approach to your diet in the recovery period. Green tea, bananas, maybe some supplements to help recovery. Don't idle but limit days between the two events to some EZ stretchy type of swimming or other exercise.
