Elevated swimming HR may compromise later stages; hypothesis-generating for intensity-specific pacing interventions in ultra-triathlons.
Higher relative intensity during the swimming stage of an ultra-endurance triathlon is inversely correlated with performance in subsequent stages, with weight-adjusted VO2max and HR differences being strong predictors of final time.
Barrero et al. (2014) studied this question.
