MARCH TOTALS

I didn't get in my February totals because I was on vacation starting March 1, and the real training started this month anyway. So here are my totals for March:

• Swim: 10.25 miles ( 18040 yards/16496 meters)
• Bike: Outside--2 rides, 58.4 miles (4:36); 7 spin/trainer rides: 9.25 hours
• Run: 55.25 miles

YTD:

• Swiim: 27.5 miles (48,400 yards; 44,257 meters)
• Bike: 25 rides
• Run: 152.25 miles

I am still in the lead on everything for our gym challenge except on swimming with one guy and that's all he does (and I have to really question his method of counting laps). Even so, I'm not that far behind him on the swim either. Somehow I managed to squeak by Jan by 2.25 miles. Even though I ran more frequently, she ran some longer distances. But, it is the cumulative that counts.

I hope and assume my bike and run totals will come up this month, but the way the April forecast is looking already over the next 10 days, it looks like it will be a good time to get the bike in and tuned up rather than to expect to get in any outdoor rides. That dreaded "snow" word is being thrown out there for every day of next week, "with accumulating totals." Hmm, maybe that was just an April fool's joke??
