August Tally

By the Numbers
  • 83.2 miles by feet (37.0 running, 45.2 walking)
  • 100.4 miles by seat
  • 1200 meters in the pool
  • 12 hill training days
  • 8 vacation days (Maui, baby!!)
  • 4 planned rest days
  • 1 unplanned rest day
  • 2 races (5K, sprint tri)
  • 1 child now a Senior in HS
  • 1 child off to CA for Sophomore year in college
  • 1 friend newly hooked on triathlon
Thoughts
  • Happy with my bike training, especially given the week long vacation at the start of the month
  • Happy with my performance at the sprint tri
  • No good excuse for such little time in the pool other than it doesn't interest me that much
  • I really need to be more consistent with my running
Plans
  • Keep training hills!!
  • Try to get in more running/swimming volume
  • Another Sprint Tri

  2. Those numbers look good to me. Good luck building up the swimming. It is hard when it doesn't interest us.

  4. I have great respect for all the tri people. I take the easy way out and only run. I love swimming and I'm a strong swimmer actually. I have zero interest in the biking.

  5. Nice training!

    Do you do drills in the pool or just straight swimming? Just swimming all the time can get boring (and I LOVE swimming!), but doing some drills helps mix it up. Let me know if you want more info!
