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!
I run into the same problem with the kids team not having practice from August 3-18 when the few that are left go to Junior Nats and then just taking time off. I have 2 weeks to train on my own but coach said he would provide me workouts appropriate for my taper and may even come in for some. But I will only be swimming 1 practice per day not my usual double.
While I am gone at Nationals not having practice doesn't matter, but when I get back they will be starting up again and so will I.
