Subject: RE: last swim session before a race?It depends. If it is a local race where I am familiar with the course I just taper through my normal workouts. If it is a race I have not been to I will swim the course (if possible). My main focus of swimming the course is to familiarize myself with the course. I'm looking for landmarks to sight on. I'm looking at the entry and exit points. I'm looking at the angle of the sun (hopefully I'm in the water at about the same time I'd be racing) and which direction it's coming from. I'm noting any current, swells, waves, wind direction, etc. and filing that into my head. |
