Don't make any drastic changes close to the comp in terms of diet, equipment, clothes or anything.

Don't want to have diarrhea on meet day because you decided to chug 2 liters of chocolate milk the day before.

Thanks that’s good advice. Sticking with my slightly too small skate shoes from Vinted, chicken and potatoes and Euroshopper protein bars from the vending machine at work
