Hi. Today I did a max no-warmup or breathup in DNF, and as usual I started getting my horrible contractions at 30-35 meters.. When I reached 50 meter they were almost unbearable (as ususal), and this is where I always start thinking "why bother", and I really want to go up and breathe.
But as usual my will power pushed me on, and I really wanted to break my 65m record. When I reached 65 meters, something weird happened which I have only read in this forum, the contractions and the ugly urge to breathe suddenly disappeared. Also I started to get very tired and when I got up on 75 meters the first thing I did was checking for any signs of samba, I didn't get samba but I felt as if I wanted to sleep. I was tired and laid my head down on the pool edge to relax. My thighs were full of lactic acid :hmm
Have anyone else had this "no contractions or urge to breathe" feeling in the end before? Is it a warning sign? :hmm
