Are you on thyroid pills?
Has your TSH levels been checked lately?
My thyroid went south appx 5 months post Tx and I'm on a daily thyroid pill. My sleep patterns are the same as they were pre Tx though my energy and biking strength (not stamina) are a tad less but that may be due to an extra 2 years in the age column.
I never liked running so I never entered any Tri but man I admire you for competing in the Ironman. I would be impressed with myself if I could just complete the swimming and biking part much less running a marathon after all that.
