You have exercise induced asthma?

I am quite jealous... my asthma would never allow me to swim 2500 staight.

well, probably. I've never been actually diagnosed w/ it, but I occasionally start wheezing during really hard sets or when I run a really long ways...so I think that I probably do have exercise induced asthma, it just takes a lot of effort to induce it.

Well... don't go diagnosing yourself. I don't know the range of asthma symptoms, but I can feel the effects immediately, like after running or even jogging a hundred yards. And if its bad it is way past wheezing, I actually can't wheeze during a bad attack because I can't move that much air.
