How do you recover after a meet?

Usually after a meet I am wiped out. I am looking for suggestions on how to prevent the post meet zombie effect.

    qbrain, you answered your own question! I assume you mean the SMU meet. What suit are you wearing? I was at D&J today. If the outdoor pool isn't open, you can be sure I will be begging Bobby to take a break during the meet. I find that stretching and a few jumping jacks is a very good substitute for cool down, along with "wonder woman" arm/body swings. But stand in one place, don't twirl around. LOL, I answered my own question? If you read the responses before my answer, I just consolidated them to try out at SMU. So I sorta answered my own question by stealing everyone else's answer. :) I am just wearing a practice suit. I am pretty sure I want more cool down than a couple wonder woman twirls, as entertaining as that would be. I think I know who you are, and if I am correct, it should be easy for you to pick me out. I will be the only person you don't already know :)
