May Totals

Ahhh....I was about to start the proverbial 'totals of the month' thread.

Swim volume is down a bit from pervious months, but biking and running are up. I'm in week seven of a marthon plan and in my final 'big' week of HIM training before a two week taper.

Not bad considering the first week of May was a taper, and pool availability was screwy for a week or so.  Started the BT HIM plan on the 15th, and am in the base building phase now (I've tailored the plan to add a little biking, a lot more running, and a little less swimming).

Bike: 9h 05m - 141.24 Mi

Run: 14h 04m 56s - 102.27 Mi

Swim: 7h 48m 57s - 26300 Yd

Pulled back on the run volume as I finished up my running events last month and upped the volume on swim and bike. First Oly of the year on June 11th

May up the volume if I decide to throw my hat in the ring and do a 70.3 this year.

Wow, i've never looked at my monthly totals before.  Kind of encouraging (and my totals aren't even that great) 

S:  26184.82 Yd - 9h 21m 50s
B:  120.22 Mi - 11h 01m 41s
R:  75.33 Mi - 11h 21m 52s

OK, dumb newby question.  Do you track spin class by adding a new sport on the log?  I've been tracking my spin time as bike time with no mileage which i don't really like.

Hey, it's time in the saddle. I'd figure out a way of logging it as bike time and miles. In my case, that Sp is for hiking mountains.

LOL - think your's bad? Take a gander at mine..okay, so maybe I did two more miles than you did, but still!

Two weeks of May I was siiiiick. Then I lost my mojo. Didn't feel like training at all.  I think I am starting to get it back though...thank goodness this is just a Hobby, and I'm not doing any half distances anytime soon.  School comes first...then the couch, then the dog, then the cats, then hanging out with my friends, then reading, then watching movies....THEN comes tri training. :-)

This month has been just out of wack for me...but whatever. 

Bike:  21h 37m 46s  - 325.28 Mi
Run:  13h 49m 51s  - 101.07 Mi
Swim:  4h 30m 12s  - 16115.2 Yd

First real month of bike and swim training this year after focusing on Boston through April.

Cool, that makes sense.

sigh...i'm a slacker!

These totals include a HIM and a Sprint...

Was sick for a few days, and now tapering down for a HIM this weekend...but still decent numbers I guess.  Missed more than a few swims.

Saint Petersburg, Russia White Nights marathon on June 26th , looking forward to it!

My highest total volume month ever and the farthest I have run - slowly creeping up on 200k.  Looking to bump up the bike total this month now that the weather is (sorta) cooperating. 

Fairly proud of my month until I saw some of what you guys are throwing out here...

Monthly totals:
B:  255.60 Mi - 15h 21m 03s 
R:  54.20 Mi - 9h 06m 56s 

Pool opened this weekend. Splashed around in it with the kids. Real swimming starts today.

If I had been paying attention I would have cranked out 1.1 more...
