Subject: Advice needed to reverse post-race training lethargy
I need some help in getting back into the training groove. I trained pretty hard and consistantly for several months and have completed a sprint tri in April and my first oly (yea!!) May 1st. I am signed up for another sprint in about 6 weeks and a season finishing oly in November.

It isn't that I have stopped working out at all; I'm still very active and workout with a trainer 2x's a week. But, I'm having a real problem getting back into a regular tri-training schedule.

Anybody else experience the same sort of thing? Any suggestions for getting out of the slump?

Finding adequate time to train is always a bit of a problem, but I always MADE time before; it was my priority. I think that part of my problem is that I don't have a firm training plan to follow for this stage of my tri season.

I'll make a deal with you. You finish your long ride tonight and I'll finish your swim.

Mike--

Sometimes, you just really need to do something different. Pull out your list of cross-training aerobic favorites, and try something new (or old) that's been displaced by your tri-routine. Post race, it always seems to revitalize my training to go on some hikes or kayaking or something for a bit.
