ground hog week!

OK...a bit different because I took two days off from run/hike....here's the totals:

Bike: 336 miles
Run/Hike: 23 miles
Time: 25:33

Sideways and sideways!

back into CoVid training life

I spent 28:31 training this week and racked up 329 miles on the bike and 34 miles on the run....

onward and upward!

this week

A "lite" week this week due to my drive to Lawrence, Kansas and back between Wednesday and Friday--1160 miles each way--to pick up Jen and bring her home. I got up early on Wednesday and rode for 90 minutes and then drove just into Illinois.  I slept in the back of my truck at a truck stop.   Up early (2am) on Thursday and I was at Jen's by 7:30.  I did an 8 mile run/walk in Kansas on Thursday.  On Friday we left just after 2am and drove straight back to Delaware and arrived about 8:30pm.  I decided (no surprise) to not workout on Friday--that's the first day of total rest I've had this year....

Here are the totals:

Bike: 221 miles
Run/Hike: 27 miles
Time: 19:25

I fully expect to be back above 300 miles biking and 30 miles running and closer to 30 hours training next week....

Onward and  Upward!

1st quarter training volume stats

Lastly week was pretty much like the 3 (Coronaville) weeks prior to it:

Swim: 0 yds
Bike: 310 miles
Run/Hike: 30 miles
Time: 27:40

The month of March:

Swim: 10k yds
Bike: 1,336 miles
Run/Hike: 99 miles
Time: 113:00

The first quarter this year compared to last year:

Swim:  2019: 52k     2020: 12k
Bike:  2,968      2020: 3,538
Run/Hike:  2019: 398    2020:  235
Time:  2019:  305:07   2020: 283:00

The differences to last year are:

-Big reduction in swim due to Corona and my post back surgery issues.  I would have normally expected to do 30k yds of swim this month if I had access to a place to swim.
-Big uptick in the bike as it is my prime focus this year vs. in 2019 when I did a lot of hiking/running to prepare for the Bolivia mountaineering expedition.  My bike numbers would have been even greater this year if not for the 11 days we were snowboarding in Park City.  My March total is on a 16,000 mile/year pace.
-Big drop in Run/Hike due to Bolivia prep last year as I went down to Shenandoah 4-5 times for 2-3 days of 10-16 mile hikes, which we are not doing this year.  I wouldn't have done as much hiking with no expedition but I had planned on a trip or two but instead am staying the f at home.
-The lower time number this year is due to all the hiking last year.

Looking ahead: generally I'm going to try to do 25-30 hours/week with about 300+ miles of biking and 30+ miles of run/hike.  It will be less this week because (believe it or not)  I'm driving out to Kansas to bring Jenny home so will miss most of 4 days of training.  Will be a nice rest for my bod...

Onward and upward!
