Hi everyone! So, I am now 8 months out of AVR. Doing great - jogged/walked a couple 5k's and an 8k, joined a tri training group a month ago. This is where my question comes in. We swim 2 times per week, right now we are doing around 2000+yds each time. I do great for the first 45 minutes or so (it takes me a good 1.5 hours to finish with the drills and such) When we do the longer swims, i.e. 300 yard timed, I get this overwhelming feeling that I will drown.. I know I have a mental block for some reason, and I have narrowed it down to I have a fear of having a heart attack or something when I am in the middle of the pool, or the middle of a interval run... Does anyone else have that "fear" after OHS and what did you do to help fix it?? Does anyone else out there know this feeling??
THanks!!
