May was a BUSY month that saw my first sprint distance tri, two different sets of shoes, the beginning of core strengthening, jumping rope, a ride up Humboldt, and the “official” start of IMAZ 2012 training. With no swimming events on the horizon, I dialed back my days in the pool to once a week. The Wednesday morning Masters swim, with Frank Sole, at the Village, is exactly what I need right now. Not a ton of yards, but enough sprints, and a whole lot of focus on technique. I’m proficient enough in the pool that I can get into race shape in just a few weeks (for a sprint or an Olympic). A half IM swim would take me closer to a 4 or 6 week build up. Not including the tri, I only swam 4 days, rode 9 days, ran 13 days, and had 5 core sessions. Can you tell that my coaches want me to get a better run base and get my core in shape?!? With that being said, here are the numbers:
May 2010 TOTALS:
SWIM = 13700 yards
BIKE = 477.25 (All tri)
RUN = 69.9 Miles
GYM/STRENGTH = 0
May 2012 TOTALS:
SWIM = 15927 yards (+2227 yards)
BIKE = 342.41 (-134.84 miles) (290.28 tri & 52.13 road)
RUN = 54.57 Miles (-15.33 miles)
GYM/STRENGTH = 5 times (+5)
OVERALL 2010 SEASON (Dec 2009 – May 2010)
SWIM = 117350 yards
BIKE = 2699.75 miles (1660 tri & 1039.75 road)
RUN = 274.6 miles
GYM/STRENGTH = 14 times
OVERALL 2012 SEASON (Dec 2011 – May 2012)
SWIM = 119191 yards (+1841 yards)
BIKE = 1670.32 miles (-1029.43 miles) (1236.69 tri & 466.63 road)
RUN = 88.59 miles (-186.01 miles)
GYM/STRENGTH = 17 times (+3 times)
