Anyone have experience swimming in meets on consecutive weekends? I've never done this myself, but am contemplating doing meets April 24-25 (Zones, SCY) and May 3 (SCM). Was planning to rest a week or so for Zones and then just keep resting. My main worry is that I'm usually pretty zonked for a few days after a two day meet. Is this a bad idea? Any advice?
My main motivation to go to the second meet is that I'm not sure I'll get another SCM meet in this year. There are no local meets, and right now I have family conflicts with travel meets.

I'll let you know on Monday. I swam PNA champs last Friday/Saturday. I signed up for 6 events, but in a rare moment of clarity/self preservation, fortuitously scratched the 200 free.
I'm swimming 6 individuals and probably 4 relays this weekend for the Oregon champs. Swam through PNA, slacking off a little this week to get ready for our meet. Ours is in Bend, elevation 3,500 or so. I suffered mightily there from the altitude a couple of years ago, and the pain is still fresh in my mind.
