I officially quit! I don't want to get stronger. I just want to not look and feel like a tank. Its torture to swim and run when I lift like this. Lifting heavy, for me, is like being married to the wrong person. From now on, I'm all about the core work. The rest of you carry on and I'll read about your exploits!
If you really hate it than quit...it is after all just masters. In fairness however trying anything new takes as much mental effort (or more) as it does physical. Based on how terrible your feeling my guess is its showing you just how much room to develop strength/power you have (had).
The flip side of swimming thru broken down periods and then fully resting is you'll swim more powerfully then you ever have before...but I emphasize that you have to REALLY rest. You also have to be willing to take more recovery days between hard lifting and swimming sessions...the curse of being OLD!
