I've heard it compared to postpartum depression: several months of careful preparation, some hours of excruciating pain and then, suddenly, everything's different and you don't have a clear goal to push you any more.

While trying to remain focused on the main event at hand, I do find myself looking for what is next. It is always fun to contemplate those new adventures! I understand the “PRD” thing.

Do you mind sharing some info on your bike. I don't have a racing bike, but I want to buy one and not break the bank. Just curious. We have similar plans. Do you mind sharing some info on your bike.

She's done lots of tri's. Stop by her blog and pick her brain. <br/><br/>I love that you bought new clothes! That something I do. :-) My friend AmyBee in Minneapolis has done the Buffalo triathlon.

I agree that having something in the calendar is a preventive tool for avoiding PRD. (which I have never had, but that is perhaps because my calendar ALWAYS has something on it!)<br/>Also smart idea to rent a wetsuit... but $40 sounds like a lot!<br/>Are you running Saturday? Guy and I are starting from my house at 7, and going for a couple of loops - do you want to join us for at least one? PRD – that’s great!

I got julie a time trial helmet for Christmas a few years ago. She got some Hammer Gels for our anniversary one year and she got mountain bike shoes this Christmas. At least Mike's confined this behavior to one Hallmark holiday. You better hope it doesn't go any further.<br/><br/>I should point out, these "gifts" usually come after I get myself something similar...<br/><br/>Good luck training for this! Hope you have fun with the new activities. Looking forward to hearing all about this!
