Yesterday I was kind of tired all day. I ran in the morning, but not particularly hard - I just think I didn't sleep real great. Anyway, if you read my previous post (and weren't weirded-out by me talking about my "parts") I mentioned that the nurse guessed I was a runner after taking my blood pressure and telling me I have a pulse of 52. (I was thinking to myself - wow, I am in pretty good shape, this running junk works.) So, I come home and announce to A that my HR was 52. Her response, "Wow, that's low. Maybe that is why you are so tired."
For me a badge or honor. For A a cause for concern. It's funny how it's all about your frame of reference.

There is a free diver named Mark Addison who has a resting heart rate of 30 due to a genetic condition (he free dives with tiger sharks! :-0 ). This allows him to dive for up to 6 minutes at a depth of 150 feet before needing air. Maybe that low HR is helping you on the swim...or maybe it just makes you post crazy things about your parts.
My dad's low heart rate (can shoot down to 20bpm) causes him to fall asleep without notice - not while driving or anything, but he can be sitting on the couch having a conversation one minute and passed out the next. It's pretty amusing.
I think you are just tired because you are training lots - it happens :)
