I have my first comp this weekend and wonder what signs I should be aware of that I am getting close to the edge of either a samba or blackout. I certainly don't want to push things to the limit, but still being a beginner it would be good to be aware of sensations that I should monitor in myself that will tell me I should come up with a clean result rather than go a bit longer/further and get a red card. I did a PB DYN the other week with 70m. Started to feel a heavy sensation in the legs towards the end and the start of tingling in my arms/hands - not sure if it would have been lactic acid (in legs) or vasoconstriction? How much longer could I have gone and been ok? I know that people mention about vision going weird, starting to wander out of the lane, blowing bubbles etc. I'd like to do 75m at least but not sure if trying to 100m might be a bit too much?
