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.

  • Why would you not drink Heed during the competition and then Hammer Recoverite Recovery Drink after? During competition I drink water and Alka-Selzer, that seems to work best for me. I tend to sip it and not chug it in between events. The Heed gets consumed in a few minutes after I am done. Feels really good too, very impressed with the results. And I skip the Advil. Makes me tighten up/ feel hung over later. I find it helps with inflammation, especially if I am doing a lot of breaststroke. All this seems to work for me after several years of error and error. Somehow I stumbled upon the right combo that enables me to feel OK even after tough meets. Note, I focus on long course and summer training. Most of the meets I swim are during warm/hot parts of the year. I felt great at Portland even after the locals said it was hot :D
