Answer 6

If you can afford it, wear a racing suit that will help compress your muscles and repel the water. Since you are already at this level, you should know what Fastskins or Aquablades are. If you don't want to buy a racing suit, just wear a tight pair of swimmers. Goggles are important, try getting one that is hydrodynamic. I use the Speedo Speedsocket micro, but there are other ones that work better such as the Speedo swedish racing goggle. Finis makes great goggles too.

Sleep early the few days before and don't eat the wrong foods. Good luck, and don't place any expectations on yourself. Just go and do it!

oh, by any chance is it the 2008 QLD Heritage SC Meet @ Chandler?
