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).
First report: I've been doing my sit-ups and had a banana 1 hour before my workout. I felt fine all workout -- plenty of energy and no nausea. But it was a distance workout, which wasn't really triggering the exhaustion problem for me. The real test awaits with a sprint workout... I will report back when I know how that goes. Thanks again to everyone for the suggestions.
