2020--half way done (thank god!)

so over the last 3 weeks I've begun to adjust my training focus a bit.  Pretty clear at this point there will be no racing this year--especially long course.  I'm pretty certain that there won't be a Kona in February, as currently scheduled either.  As a consequence, I've decided to not push into my long-ride training, which is what I would normally do at this point.  My bike volume will scale down a bit as a result.

I continue to do more run/hike than last year when I was in pure "bike monster" mode.  Aldo June finally brought a return to swimming as I now have consistent access to a place to swim.

Here is what June looked like, volume-wise:

Swim: 17.3k yards
Bike: 1,104 miles
Run: 134 miles
Time: 101 hours

Comparatively, 2019 looked like this:

Swim: 21.2k yards
Bike: 1,384 miles
Run: 46 miles
Time: 103 hours

For the 2nd quarter:

Swim: 21.8k yards vs. 60.0k yards last year (down 64%)
Bike: 3,756 miles vs. 2,759 (up 36%)
Run: 404 miles vs. 545 miles (down 26%--this was driven by last year's Bolivia expedition)
Time: 331 hours vs. 339 (down 2%)

Looking ahead to July:

Last year I swam 23k yards and I would expect to match or beat that this year
On the bike I did 1,444 miles (47/day) as I was in full-on bike monster--this year I'd expect to be in the 1,000-1,100 range.
Run last year was 70 miles--I'll best that again this month.
107 hours last year--probably about what I'll do this year as well.
