My first race (for all intended puposes) last month I did the 1000 free first thing and then got asked to do a relay and when I went to do the event I wanted to do my best, the 50 free I was exhausted. I don't know yet whether I am a sprinter or long distance. I have a relatively fast free and I have decent endurance for my age (52 female). I like the *** stroke but confused...old stlye verses new style so it is a bit ify. Havn't done much back because of rotar cuff problem,but is better. I can do all the strokes though. The 50 free is toward the end of the race and I just have to do something else? What should I do? The first race is the 500 free. There is no 1000.
Any suggestion would be helpful. It's the Devil Splash in Durham.

I agree with Kirk. Pick 3 to 5 events in a meet, depending upon how long the meet is likely to be and how ambitious you want to be; space them out and just get times. Experiment with different events over the first few meets to see what you like, what you can handle in a meet and then go from there. Meets are supposed to be fun, so choose events that you think you'll have fun in.
