February Totals

Sorry for taking so long to get this posted.  Here are the totals for February and YTD versus last year:

2008 2007 Change

February:

Swim 33500 49500 -32%

Bike 679.6 719.5 -5.5%

Run 119.7 95.9 +25%

Hours 77:40 82:25 -6%

YTD:

Swim 73,050 102,400 -29%

Bike 1509.2 1515.0 0%

Run 275.0 218.1 +26%

Hours 174:18 180:39 -4%

So compared to last year, with the exception of running, February 2008 was a lighter training month.  This is due to a heavy personal schedule and a strategy of holding back a bit in Jan/Feb so I don't peak too soon (I probably peaked too early last year).  My swimming volume is further behind than I'd like but I plan to heavy up on swimming in April/May in front of Eagleman.  My running volume continues to stay 25% ahead of last year although it's all base work.  I'll start adding speed in April.

The big news will be my epic spring training camp in Tucson in March (which I just returned from) which I'll post an update on shortly....
