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!
What's your new diet, and how does it compare to your old one?
I'm interested too!
You'll do great!! How long does a "race" like that take? 5 hours? Ouch.
Doesn't sound like a real injury issue to me either if there's nothing creaky or twingey right now. But I think it would be mentally and physically difficult to get in the water right away and race. Besides, you already have many extremely fast LC times and you can come to Colonies Zones and smoke me in fly! (Well, not the 200 of course; you're on your own there.)
Straight ahead!
