So...

My new "triathlon" body has been lucky enough to pick up a long time friend and now girl-friend. I'm finding it hard to get to sleep early (9-9.30pm I usually start to doze off).

My girlfriend is a swimmer so she gets up early too but I seem to need a bit more sleep than she does. I get up at 5am to train most weekdays but have been so tired from staying up a bit later that my training is suffering.

Any ideas?

LOL....was wondering who was going to brave enough to raise the topic..

Yes training means little time for fun..I get up at 4:30am and need to sleep by 9:30pm..which when my wife normally retires next to me to read a good book or watch a medical/crime soap on the TV...

LOL..not sure there is an answer to enjoy both sports so to speak...

Rocky says it takes the legs from Boxers.  So does it take the legs of Endurance athlete?   Now there is a question for you.  Personally any activity that helps me relax and go to sleep is in play..

Try long rides twice a week (weekends) & then hit it quick and fast as needed to stay in practice.

Actually, it was Rocky's trainer Mickey..."Women Weaken Legs!" Ha, I love it because it's true.

My thought is that if you can't figure out when to fit sex into your schedule, then it seems appropriate that you go without.

well, you will have to figure something out.. cut a training day short.. sex can be considered as calisthenics.. meet in the shower and the rest is history...


like someone said.. i wish i had that problem..

Well, geez, if you don't have kids then the solution is pretty obvious -- early night sex.

I want lots of sleep but always make time for the other stuff.  It's more important.  I am thankful for my wife.

Hot swimmer girlfirend........... what was the question?

It is a natural response for a male to give up sleep to reproduce. So as The Bear said it..... HTFU

Marriage and kids will help with your problem. As you can see, there's not much sympathy from the peanut gallery on this one.

I love my wife's response when all the stars line up and there is a moment that the kids, horses, chores, etc. aren't an issue and it does finally happen she says "I thought you were an IRONMAN!".
