Post-Race Blues?

[teawoman]

I did this too after my first tri. First elated, then . I think the only cure is to sign up for another.... Women are hard on themselves. Not everybody can do a tri.

Hopefully after a bit what you will remember is the fun! What I try to remember is that with swimming, biking, and running, I have a nicely rounded fitness regime that I can enjoy year round. I can tweak it so I work on my weak spots *cough*bike*cough*. I can read about and try cool drills and workouts for each of the disciplines. I can imagine doing longer distances. That's fun too.

I hang out on the Runner's World running beginner's forums too and it's very common to get the blues after a longer race --any race you've been focusing on and preparing for for quite a while.
