I recently [2 weeks ago] completed my first tri [OD] but have since been sick due to picking up virus from swim in river
I was sick during the run but still finished in 2 hrs 49 min.
Since then I have done no training due to constant nausea and have been to Doctors twice.
I have lost all interest in tri due to the sickness. Was meant to do an HIM in August that i have now changed to another OD instead.
Lacking motivation, interest and energy! What should I do??

Take care.
Virus ? What's his advice/treatment ?
You will feel shit if you ill, and exercise is the last thing on your mind.
I just got over a virus and did nothing for 3 weeks... felt better, started eating again and it's picking up again. Don't rush back - you know why you started Tri's in the 1st place and that passion won't go completely.
What else do you like doing in your spare time - maybe concentrate on that for a month or just be a couch spud for a few weeks.
Best of luck
once you recovered, get back on the bike! life is not about how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you get back up!
put it down to experience, and go and nail your next race!
Nothing until you feel fit as a fiddle.
Get some mags, or look at some new kit.
Run or Bike for a bit - whichever is your favourite.
Keep reading/posting here.
Get well soon!
It will come back, but you might need to be patient with yourself.

Fear not triathlon is for life, through richer to poorer and in sickness back to health!
