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,

OK, Jazzweed, I give in. I just Googled "ridiculous warm-up advice that is guaranteed to get someone injured" and your name popped right up! Heck yeah, man, this Googling is the the bomb! Thanks for the tip.
Umm... this is kind of surreal now. Can you re-read some of what I wrote, please?
