I ask this because I did a 500 and then 5x50s warm up for a meet this past weekend. When I swam the 500, I was cruising but was literally dead after about 6 laps. I go much faster in practice sets when we do distance and it was frustrating to say the least.
I recall that I did a 1,500 warmup in my youth and had a good meet. I also know that in workout I am usually at my strongest after we do about 1,500-2,000.
So, I am tired of being a workout warrior. Does 1,500 of warm up sound crazy?
Thanks,

Thanks to Everyone for all of your Comments. I realize that I need to really experiment and see just how much is too much. I suspect that I will need to do a combination of 1000 swim and then some sprints to get me tired and in race mode. It will be a work in progress but I am looking forward to seeing what works best for me.
