School and training don't mix well

After two solid weeks of training I'm completely fried. In the past few days I've really come to realize why many aspiring athletes postpone upper level study, it's hard to do both at the same time. With a two midterms, assignments, and a final paper in the past 2 weeks, my fifteen hour weekly training schedule laid me out cold. While a 3-4 hr ride is a solid effort, having to be in the library and relatively productive afterwards makes it that much more difficult.
For a week my sleep was good, recovery was sufficient, my body was dealing with the heavy load on my shoulders. about mid week this week I began to feel as if my body was rejecting itself, always tired, I felt like shit. After I turned in my term paper for my environmental studies class I went home and passed out for a hour. At 11 am!. While I am no stranger to naps this signaled to me that I was scraping the bottom of the barrel of my abilities. I knew would have to grind it out until my gym session on monday and the start of two light weeks while I navigate the waters of dead week and finals.
Although these past weeks have been miserable at times they have taught me a lot. In order to train like I did in my lead up to worlds, I need to manage school better. I can't wait till the last minute to pull an all-nighter to finish papers and study for exams like I have in the past. So here is to pulling closer to both finish lines, graduating university and the Paralympics! It's gonna be a roller coaster, so hold on tight.
