I wash daily but if I am not using good shampoo for my hair or if I am not alternating shampoo or if I am not conditioning, my hair will break. But! A lot of people --including a bunch of swimmers with long hair in my swim class -- are swearing by the so-called "dry shampoos" like <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P216708&categoryId=C17780&shouldPaginate=true" rel="nofollow">this</a>. Supposedly they make your hair feel clean, not oily and help get that exercise gook out of it. Also, some people use conditioner daily and shampoo maybe once a week... I wonder if that would work for you or if it would feel too much like just putting oil on top of the sweat? Otherwise it sounds like you're doing everything I did when I had long hair and things I do now with somewhere between chin-and-shoulder length hair (which has its own issues). my hair isn’t long anymore, but it used to be about your length, and super thick, and mostly straight.
