Week #1

Dec 10 - Dec 16
S:  13,650 yds - 3hr 11min

B:  69.59 mi - 4hr 18min

R:  42.10 mi - 5hr 36min

Total:  13hr 6min

The first week of "regular" training is in the bag.  4 swims, 3 bikes, and 8 runs.  Boom!  It really did feel good to crank up the running.  The last time I hit 40+ mpw was mid September, and before that was mid-June.  I have a sneaky feeling that this trend of mucho running will continue, and my guess is that the swimming will really crank up as well.  Just what I need.  Another thing I've been doing lately is trying to get an idea on what the race schedule will look like this coming year.  Tentatively, I think it's going to look kind of like previous years, but I am going to dabble in a couple more long course races as well as some duathlons and a long distance cross race.
