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!
Eliane, I can't wait to hear how this meet goes and meet you at Nats. Good luck.
One thing that I've learned to do through my team after a practice and a meet is to eat or drink protein. I get a liquid called Pure Protein at Target. It's yummy and has a good mix of carbs and protein that were recommended. I highly recommend it for you after this meet to combat next day soreness.
