Congrats on finishing your first race!! You are a triathlete!
I've never really heard of "PRD" used as a term but the only PRD I can relate to is when the lace race of the season is finished and I have to wait 4-6 months until it starts up again.

Post Race Depression or Post Race Denial? :)
I've been known to suffer from both...
PRD usually disappears after you set another goal and re-focus..
Sprint, IM, 5k, Ultra...it's all realative to what you are raceing at the time..
Chin up..re-focus...

I agree with Anton, pick another event and start training again.

not that i have any tri experience yet, but i agree as well. i would have never had the motivation to start running or biking every day if i did not sign up for my first sprint tri this weekend. congrats on finishing your first. maybe you can pick something you want to improve on for your next tri, or set a faster time as a goal.

The reality is that you finished your first Tri and signed up for the second. That is great. And it sounds like you really enjoyed the experience. Even better. That feeling of crossing the finish line - the culmination of dedicated training - that is the motivation for the next and the next and ...
Set a long term goal, but then break it down to manageable short term achieveable goals.
Just keep having fun.

Hey Gang,
Finished my first sprint tri over the weekend!! :)
It was an awesome experience... Everyone was so supportive and cheering everyone on. By far the best supportive athletes..
Already signed up for another one next month.
Afterwards, it seems reality set in. Been feeling kind of lousy though. I am sure it is probably the PRD setting in...
I know it is common to have PRD for longer races but does anyone ever experience it with Sprint races?
Thanks
