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.
Newbie question (and something I have been wondering since deciding I might try a meet this year)-- how do you determine whether there is enough time between events? Obviously, I know you would not want to swim events that are scheduled back-to-back, but what about events that have one, two, or three events in between? How do you decide if that is "enough time" to recover for the next event or not?
My maxim on this: there's ALWAYS enough time between events. Come on, Masters Studs and Studesses (Studettes?) ... we go back to back crap in workout all day long ... enter the events you want to swim regardless of how much rest you'll actually get.
I get edgy & antsy sitting on the sidelines ... after your standard 300/400 warmdown (10 minutes?) and optional towel off, what else do you need between events?
