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).

  • 3 cups oatmeal, 4 scoops whey, 1/2 cup natural peanut butter, & 1 cup of milk. Mix it all together lay it out in a pan (I use a wax sheet), cool in fridge for a few hours. I cut it into 6s - others suggest 8s. I learned a few valuable lessons last night. 1) Regular Oatmeal != Instant Oatmeal. The Oats are larger and do not absorb liquid as well... I have very soft protein bars now. 2) Chunky Natural Peanut butter is amazing in these things. 3) My dog Sophie loves licking the mixing bowl completely clean. Thought I would share all of those with you.
