Maybe a target race might stir the Tri juices again?
Is there something in the back of your mind about the injury happening again?
Sorry about the questions but the answer might help yourself.
I hope you find the urge again soon.
My motivation is to raise as much cash as I can while doing it.
If you are still having difficulties, find someone, preferably a bit slower than yourself, to go out with.
Then set some easy goals - it will take a while to get back where you were - so just focus on base building - easy stuff - and lots of it. You want to avoid injuries again.
Treat yourself to a new bit of kit - shoes, bike bits, GPS navigator or whatever takes your fancy to give you an incentive to just "test it out".
Just don't expect to be able to do what you could before the layoff - you will just get disheartened. However, after a few weeks, you will rapidly start to get back to where you were - it takes less time to return to a level of fitness than it takes to get there for the first time!
