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).
Philo, I can sympathize with you, believe me. Our indoor pool has reached 88 degrees, even with the water heater shut off. The humidity level is at 74% and the air temp. is around 84 degrees. I can't even think about swimming in the afternoon, because the air temp rises above 90 degrees! Hopefully, the HVAC people will get their system working properly, so we can at least get the hot humid air pumped out of there...
Heat is definitely a factor. Although I have had this problem in the winter, when swimming outdoors in 40s-50s weather, heat makes it worse. So, I can really sympathize with your situation. It's hard not to blow a gasket when the pool is hot to begin with.
