May 2013

Running

Sure, 40% of my monthly mileage came in one day, but I recovered from Berryman pretty quickly and I’ve been getting some good training in since then.

Cycling

I certainly got off to a slow start with cycling this year, but the last week of May things really started to come together for me. I should be in race condition in no time.

Month | Distance | # Workouts | Avg per Workout
January | 3.7 Mile | 1 | 3.7 Mile
February | 15.2 Mile | 4 | 3.8 Mile
March | 123.14 Mile | 16 | 7.69625 Mile
April | 114.22 Mile | 12 | 9.51833 Mile
May | 157.33 Mile | 14 | 11.2379 Mile
Total | 413.59 Mile | 47 | 8.79979 Mile

Swimming

My times keep getting better, though they may be reaching a plateau. I’m approaching the point where I can swim 1000 yards at nearly the same pace as 200 yards. So in order to keep dropping my 1000 yard times I’m actually going to have to do speed work. Yuck.

Month | Distance | # Workouts | Avg per Workout

Total | 51650. Yard | 32 | 1614.06 Yard

Walking/Hiking

I did lots of walking and hiking as active recovery from Berryman, and it seems to have worked really well. I don’t think I’ve ever recovered from an ultra this quickly.
