Pre race stimulation or not.

Remember that the subject on the Taper DVD needed to score PBs right away to get out of the heats and Semis and into the finals- so the heats had to be the main peaking point even if the final suffered a bit. (No point being ready for a race you aren’t in!) If he had been a certain finalist, we would have switched the final sessions, allowing him to raise his tone to optimal through the first two races.
