My first Masters meet is coming up on March 27&28 and I don't have a clue about:
1. Should I swim the day before or just rest?
2. What (and when) should I eat before my first race?
3. What (and when) should I swim to warm-up before my first race (200 breaststroke)?
4. What about cooldown then warming up again before my next race (medley relay)?
5. Any other recommendations, besides stretching and HAVING FUN? :D
THANKS!
Thanks Nancy and Gigi! Great advice from both of you and everybody else on this thread! I sure do appreciate it all and have taken notes.:D
It's looking like bananas and peanut butter are the food of choice for swimmers; both great choices. I always ate bananas before my high school swim team workouts, because they are so high in potassium. I have started that habit, again, so I will take some to the meet with me.
