So Tired

Just last week, I was thinking that maybe this Ironman training was actually getting easier. I was hitting all of my workouts, but I wasn't exhausted, like last year. I thought maybe this has become a life style, and I could continue training like this without it completely taking over my life. But then it hit me! A wave of exhaustion has washed over me. I've been in bed by 8pm every night this week, and it's been a struggle to even stay up that late. I have phone calls to return, laundry to put away (at least I have clean clothes!), a race report still to finish, etc, etc. I just don't have the energy to do any of these things. Maybe next week ....
