Do you consider yourself an athlete?

Yes given that I have competed at nationals for the first time and done three shows.

Fair enough br0. Ive never done a show but you could probably answer my question having done 3 shows: how long does it typically take for one to feel normal again after doing a show? And by normal I mean feel like youve at least recovered from the show etc

what do u mean recover? 

Like a day in an extreme case where diuretic used. Or otherwise like 10mins after u get off stage and eat lol.

its not like running a marathon where u sore for days. It's actually the opposite u are useless sack of shit leading up to the show, afterwards u should feel like a million bucks.

you should train after the show and eat a lot if u are depleted then this a good way to get some growth plus the pumps are awesome and u look good for couple weeks after. May as well enjoy it for a couple weeks properly rather than just the shitty couple of minutes you get on stage.

thats how I see it and what I would think/do when I do another show which will be never.

Yeah man, after a show your body sucks up all the nutrients it can get and you grow like a week. It's the post-comp rebound... use it to your advantage!
