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 seems like a classic quantity vs quality argument.
I don't think it is a zero-sum game, where you automatically degrade the quality of each additional swim. At least, that's been my experience.
More important for me is usually when (what time of day) I swim. I am a morning person; if I swim in the late afternoon or -- even worse -- in the evening or at night, I will tend to go a little slower, no matter how "rested" I am.
