Extreme swimming nausea on second swim of swim->run->swim
Quote | Reply
Hey folks,

Happened to me a few times where, in the second or nth swim (where n ≥ 2) I get extreme nausea at the start of the swim leg. It goes away after about 200m of swimming, but those first few 100s are awful, and I often have to roll over just to get my shit together.

First swim I'm fine.

Other info:
Ambient temp: 35°C
Water temp: 11°C

Insights would be appreciated.

Sometimes when cold water enters the ear canal, it can cause nausea or even dizziness. It won’t necessarily happen immediately; it might be worth trying ear plugs. Hope it’s that simple!

Thanks for this, appreciate the comment—will give it a go.

However why would this only hit me on the second or later swims? Never the first?
