Back to back meets

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.

    When I raced the Marathon circuit it was every weekend from the 1st week in July until 2nd or third week in September. We would also race a couple of times in the same week. Sure it was hard but that is how I made my money. I would take 2 days off after a race. Now do we call that a taper??? ....And it was all uphill.... :blah: Just kidding, George!
