I've been doing masters for about a year and a half now and was thinking of MAYBE doing a meet or two this season. I was wondering if anyone could provide suggestions regarding a pre-meet warmup routine. What do you do, and why? Do you always do the same pre-meet warmup? What works, and what does not work for you? How long, realistically, should one allow for warmup? I am mainly looking for examples of routines that I could tweak for my own purposes. (I'll probably do short distance events, like 50 free and 100 free, as well as one or two stroke events and/or IM. In other words, NO distance events for me.) :bolt:
I like to get in around 1000-1200 yards with a bunch of drills mixed in that yardage. Then 4-6 starts of the blocks followed by 100EZ. If I start to feel fast and smooth quickly I may cut it down to around 800 yards. It also depends on what I am swimming.
I love to pull and like Lump it loosens me up too. However many meets won't allow "toys" during warmup.
