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).

So, yes, many of the same issues as you. I'm interested in your prolonged under-oxygenation hypothesis -- it seems plausible to me. Maybe it's that, specifically under situations of heavy exertion when the muscles are demanding a lot of oxygen.
Yea... except, if thats' all there was to it, then it would happen more consistently.
The fact that it doesn't makes me think there are several things in play, and when they overlap...I need a serious nap.
I started reading this, to see if anything interesting turns up: en.wikipedia.org/.../Hypothermia
Which lead me to:
en.wikipedia.org/.../Sympathetic_nervous_system and
en.wikipedia.org/.../Parasympathetic_nervous_system
lot of stuff there to digest... I don't know if I'll find any "AHA! I can relate to that" We'll see. I think I need to see more patterns on how I'm feeling....
