Hey Mate, from a random dude on the internet.
Completely understand what your going through, this is normal in the cruel mistress that is triathlon. Don't let this get you down, this is just a small bump in the road of a already very successful tri journey. I've had some similar issues in the past and my advice to you would be, to take a step back from the sport.
Go out for a run without a plan or a HR Monitor, go for a ride to a cafe and eat good cake, swim in the sea and just enjoy it. While you're doing this seek out physio's and bike fit specialists, but remember always stay positive. Trying to still smash in the sessions when your heads just not in it wont work. They will be other euros and big IM events to attend and smash mate.
When I had a pretty low spell in the sport I took a massive step back and just surfed loads, I know you do as well so don't forget that. Give yourself a mental break by doing things like surfing and not being so focused on why sessions aren't going as you've planned.
Hope this helps fella, keep your chin up and one day I'd love to race/train with you.
🤙

Best of luck to you!!
Just saw you running across the bridge in Coimbra but didn’t get a chance to shout out.
Be strong 💪!!

You're putting out great power and times so maybe you're overthinking it man. Progress over perfection, the pros are constantly changing their bike fit etc.

Well - how has that 2nd place at EU champs helped your motivation? 😂

Yeah I second the comment about over thinking, and I say that from a place of understanding. Try to get your head straight about why you actually enjoy training and being fit af. It's not rocket science. It doesn't require the level of analysis you go into. It's simply about being a fing warrior and feeling awesome. If you can enter that mindset, like the stuff David goggins talks about, then the issues that arise from over thinking just disappeares. There's a great yt ch called fuel the mind, with a great playlist of goggins motivational speeches. Try it and see if you get back in the groove. 🤘
