Seriously, what I feel is the lactic acid building up--my arms burn, my stroke falls apart, and I slow down (like I'm trying to swim through jello). The piano on the back syndrome. Once it begins, there's no way to turn it around. It's really cool when it happens in the middle of a 1000--then I spend the last 500 trying to figure out a way to quit without embarrassing myself.
