I did a practice shave of my legs last night, to get used to it and also figure out how long it takes me for planning purposes.
Today in practice, I was faster than usual. The most obvious was in my 200 free warm-up. I dps the first 100 and then gradually speed up to about 75%. Usually I am around 3 minutes. Monday, I went 2:51. Today, I was 2:36 with the usual effort level.
My 200 *** warm-up was about 10 seconds faster than usual.
Can shaving really improve things that much? Is some of this because I am tapering?
Also, for those guys who shave your heads, do you also wear a cap? If not, is the bald head better than a cap?

What's next, enter a 500 at your next meet?
Strangely, I wanted to do the 500 just for something different. There is only one more meet this season with a 500 in it, and its right before the 50 free. Not willing to sacrifice a 50 for a 500 at this point. If I could've added it at the end I would've done it. I'm betting i could go 5:25 in yards without too much trouble.
