Totals for the month of March 2011. Looking back I think I had a pretty good March. I am really trying to stick to the plan I have written for myself, which is not easy being a self-coached athlete. We all know the dedication it takes to train for an Ironman, so hopefully the warm temperatures come soon so I can get out on the bike consistently.
I have missed some of the optional workouts, and was really sick for 1 full day. In March I dropped 30-minutes from my strength training sessions, which is normal as you start more race specific training. Swimming is my limiter and in March I logged 16,600 yards, or 5.5 hours. I increased that to 27, 802, or 8.83 hours in the pool. I always smell like chlorine it seems. Biking increased from 332.89 miles to 486 miles. Running went from 93.10 miles to 144.22. I started to include specific Brick sessions the last week of March as a normal training days.
My weight is tracking down and I feel like I am regaining my speed from last season as the weight drops some. I am down to 174 right now, and figure on race day I will most likely be 165. At the end of March I had a 10-miler at the beach and had a nice PR.
