March is in the books for me!

Not a bad month overall
Swim: 13h 06m 38s - 31775 Yd Increase over Feb 8:45 (21k yds)
Bike: 20h 21m 31s Increase over Feb 4:00
Run: 11h 11m 17s - 49.94 Mi Increase over Feb 0:22 (2.5 miles)
Strength: 4h 30m Decrease from Feb 1:20

Not bad at all!

here's my march numbers

swim = 0 but I did sit in the lake last week. Still too cold to swim
bike =12h11 = zwift distance, I don't know- 2 hours less than last month
run= 12h33 ; 103k-30 minutes less than last month but approx same distance-Am I getting faster?
strength = about 4 hours I guess
hockey games = 5 (as we've established that they do count as workouts)

game 5 starts in one hour. Semi-final one. Here we go!

Exactly! I get that I'm not in country, but it doesn't change how we handle ourselves regardless.

Ahh good luck to your team, Nat!

Gretchen, solid month! As usual, totally impressed at your consistency, even while in a foreign country. Scary about the earthquake though!

I had a really nice book club with my girlfriends at my house last night. It went pretty late though, so I struggled to wake up, but am feeling much better now and, if it's not raining, might at least try to get a walk in later. If not, I will do a Peloton ride or strength.

I was a bit burnt out on my Peloton, but I'm planning on doing this upcoming challenge to get back into it and get ready for my tri in June. It was nice to take a break. Might have to start off with an FTP test though, ugh.

90' run today with 20' in Z4/Z5, and the rest in Z2--it was one of those absolutely perfect runs that makes you remember why you like doing this whole triathlon thing in the first place. I couldn't have asked for a better run.

Folks...I have heard back from the pool manager and I absolutely do not know if I can handle the answer. The pool is "almost 20m". I'm dying. My brain will actually probably explode any minute with this knowledge (and with the fact that the manager somehow things "almost 20m" is an appropriate answer). There is going to be so much thinking involved in swim training now!

I'm still actually having a hard time believing this is the correct measurement, because it essentially means I have to add an entire length of the pool to get to 100m...which makes the times I'm swimming considerably slower than what I was swimming before I left for Egypt (and...you know...the subsequent six months of strength and swim training). It is puzzling. I may have to get my own tapes out and check it out. Here's when being an archaeologist pays off...easy access to really long tape measures...ha! Finally, there is some benefit!

“Almost 20 meters” could be anything between 18 and 19.9. I see why it is it NOT the answer you wanted, in any way!


Feeling a little down since Yesterday. Not sure what it is, brain fog and tired, very difficult to concentrate at work. Went to the game after work and left after one period. It wasn’t fun. Hockey not fun? What’s wrong with me? The score was 1-1 at the time so it’s not like they were bad and losing big time, that would not have been fun.

(They won 6-2)

Woke up at 11 this morning (12 hours sleep). Will attempt to train this afternoon, should cure me or finish me off.

Have a great weekend!
