Questions for SCY:
1. How many breaths down after the dive? Or do you simply hold your breath?
2. If you hold your breath, do you blow it all out quickly before you breath or empty your lungs slowly?
3. Should you have a pattern for breathing or simply grit your teeth and gut it out?
4. (unrelated to breathing). Negative split--how important is it in this race? Should it be emphasized?
Greetings!
O2 requirements, and breathing patterns, are different for each individual. Size, sex, age, conditioning, health history, and an individual's physiology make it impossible to prescribe a cookie cutter racing strategy for everyone. Practice different patterns. If it doesn't work for you, try something else.
