Maximum number of meet entries?

I was just wondering, how many of you typically enter the maximum number of events that you can? I always do. One of our new coaches wants us to try and focus more on our "stronger events" and skip the other events. I usually like to see how well I might do in a event I haven't done in awhile.

  • It usually depends on the format of the meet. I typically try to focus on a specific events throughout the year, therefore I try my best to enter my "focus" events in every meet. However if there is not sufficient rest in between events, then I choose only my favorites or those events that give me adequate time to rest. Also, if it is important to score points for the team, then I may enter more events and not be as concerned about going for be Also another approach I sometimes take is to enter the max, but be prepared to scratch if I come to the meet with the need to focus on specific events. The most important thing to me is that I have fun. Sometimes if I enter too many races it is not fun...
