At around 1K I start getting a bit of hand numbness, especially if swimming hard. Anyone else get this?

I've had that when we did 30 minute swims years ago. In my case it was from not relaxing the arm while recovering and swimming tense. My forearm muscles would get a little pumped up and circulation was slightly impaired. It was only one side, not sure if that was my "breathing" side or not. Seems like we were swimming LCM so there were less-frequent turns available to get off the arms.
Think: Finesse power, not bulldozer power. :)
