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).
The same thing was happening to me too. I now make sure to have a banana before heading to the pool and have begun tracking the other foods that I eat during the day to make sure I'm getting all the nutritional requirements that I need (i.e. enough protein, carbohydrates, etc.). Seems to be working and I'm getting out of my bad/slow swimming funk and back up to the times I had been swimming.
