April Totals

April is a month that i ‘d rather forget from a training perspective.  It started when I returned from a business trip to California – 2 weeks of a flu/heavy cold that I just couldn’t shake.  I tried to complete some light training during this time.  I didn’t push the pace and wasn’t swimming at all during that period.

	Distance	Time (hrs)	Difference from last month
Swim	11,000 yds	3.25	-6,350
Bike	177 miles	9.2	-52
Run	59.18 miles	8	-30
Other		9	-2
Walking	13 miles	3.5
off days		7	+3

I also had another strain in my calf, the left one this time.  So for the last few weeks I have backed off the running and added some more physical therapy (part of the “other” category).

I have 2 weeks until my first race of the season – I hope that the calf is better by then, and I can’t wait to try the new bike in competition.
