Nice day...not too hot, not too cold, not too windy.
Short bike at lunch today. 14 miles in 43 minutes. Felt good.
After work, ran 10k in two laps around the university instead of the planned trail run. I wanted to get the dog Sooner out and about. She went on the first 5k lap and really lagged behind. I guess the heat was getting to her because in March she did ok for at least one lap. Finished that lap in 30minutes (10min/mile!). Dropped her off at home and hit the second lap in 26 minutes, much slower than anticipated but I didn't really push. This injury stuff sucks, but I think all the extra time on the bike is doing well.
I looked at my "aerobic points" as detailed on slowtitch.com. For March, April, and May, I ended up with 100 swim, 351 bike, and 600 and some on the run. Those numbers should be equal to have a balanced training program. However, I don't really want balanced. I want the bike to be 50%, run 35%, and swim 15% so that I'm working towards my weaknesses. The run is out of whack because of the weather and running with Paul in the stroller. I can't figure the points for earlier in the year because I wasn't keeping track of distances, but now I am. I'm hoping July brings about the percentages I'm looking for. Maybe I need to figure out the weekly and monthly plan using these numbers instead of just setting up workouts based on time available.
I'm a family guy who is addicted to swim/bike/run and anything to do with getting out into the backcountry wilderness areas. This blog focuses on the swim, bike, run and other various aspects of my attempts to finish in the top ten percent of my age group in whatever race I do. It used to be all about finishing the legs of an Olympic Distance triathlon: swim in 20 minutes, bike in 60 minutes, and run in 40 minutes. Now, it's more about training well and finishing well.
