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.

Pick different events each meet. You may have 2 or 3 events that you really like to swim at meets and it is ok to routinely swim them. But also alternate events, like the others have said. This will keep the meets fun and will help you keep learning about each event.
