Feeling exhausted after workouts?

Sometimes after our workouts I feel completely wiped. (I refer to this as "blowing a gasket"). It's all I can do to drag myself to the car and drive home, which is luckily not very far. Usually it's a sprint workout that will do it. Let's just say that it makes it hard to get work done the rest of the day... Does this happen to anyone else? Any suggestions, other than "don't swim as hard," which seems to be defeat the reason why I am there in the first place? (It doesn't seem to me that I am swimming harder than anyone else).

  • Oh, I see! I know what you mean! Just standing in the shower is hard enough, much less raising my arms! I've had those days. My team is tapering right now since some are going to sectionals and some to Nationals in Irvine, CA. It has been nice..... although I find myself starving half way through the practice now. I had to get out yesterday and eat a Barker's Brownie. Naturally I shared one with the coach :)
