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!
First of all, I hope that your meet goes well and that you have a great time!
I recently swam in my first Masters meet and my only goals were to have fun and to get times for the events I will likely swim the most so I have a starting point.
Again, I hope you have a great meet, let us know how you do!
First of all, I LOVE the photo on your post! As you can see by mine, I love dolphins!
My goals are the same, so I'm with you on that point. Most importantly, it's about having FUN. But, I would like to do my best and have a good starting point for future meets. So, I want to at least try to do the right things that will help me do my best!
Thanks for your good wishes! I'll post after the meet and let you know how it goes...
