I get this ALL THE TIME. And the weird thing is, I'm beginning to think that if I don't catch it early, it is bad even when I have goals still to meet.

Example. The only Tri I had scheduled was in June. I started getting the lowdowns after I completed it, so decided to schedule another tri for August. Except then I lost all motivation to do anything, and am currently feeling, well not depressed, but not in top shape. So I'm doing the August tri this weekend on a really crappy amount of training, and I'm just not caring. I think maybe I need to schedule my tri's all at once and have them in a progressive build so that the most important one is last of all, because there's something about completing an event that just has me wanting to change gears (get ready for my winter/fall sports, etc) and not mess with it anymore for the year.

After this I've told myself I may or may not do the originally planned half-marathon, depending on how I feel. Or maybe I'll just climb a whole lot and do the half marathon next year. *shrug*
