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!
Elaine glad that you had so much fun and did well at your first meet. I did my first one back in Dec., but it was a just for fun meet. I'm doing my first "Real" met in 2 weeks in Lexington, KY. I'll be more than likely swimming some NT at Nationals too!
Hope to meet lots of you there!!
Thanks Cheryl! Hey, good luck in your next meet! What events/ age group will you be swimming at Nationals? I'll make sure to look for you. I'll be in the 45-49 for all breaststroke events. But, don't look for me in the middle lanes; I'll be on the end and at the bottom of the heap.:blush: (My seed times don't compare, I afraid! :afraid:) Oh well, I can't pass up the opportunity, since Nationals are only 45 minutes from my house! See you there!:D
