I think it's quite a personal Jigsaw puzzle. Fran recommended I use a daily training logbook in my buildup to doing a comp. How you slept, what you ate at what time etc etc. I would like to think that after 20 or so entries to that log book a personal "map" would start to come out.

I am lucky enough to pool train 10 times a month and do 5 or 6 open water sessions too. I have good and bad (apnea) days, really quite black and white, and would love to know why.

It isn't coffee (i do well or bad with/without
it IS how rested i am (how well I slept the night before)

All the rest is to be discovered. British breakfasts are great though...
