I am wondering if anyone has noticed a correlation between type of workout and what kind of mood they are in afterward. Sometimes when we get over-the-top kick sets I end up feeling totally drained, and not in a good way. Often when we do a sprint oriented workout I feel really pumped afterward, even if I got nauseous while swimming. After a long slow distance workout I'll be totally exhausted, but in a good way. Sometimes I'm so tired I can barely lift my arms to shampoo my hair but I feel great, last night I just wanted to be put out of my misery.
Do you find that certain types of workouts put you in certain types of moods?

Do you find that certain types of workouts put you in certain types of moods? Absolutely.
Low level LSD swims, stopping before exhaustion, have a boosting effect on my humor. I love every one, only see the right side of things, and feel invincible.
For different reasons, swims in bad pools where ropes weren't tightened enough, with 10 swimmers per lane, makes me feel as if I wanted to drown five of them, or seriously injure the lazy lifeguard that didn't tighten the ropes enough.
