Maryland Month (May) & Look Back To May 2009

..... although big is relative depending on where you are in your training errrrrr gestation cycle ...

Great Month, no school and a steady work load allowed me to reach all goals. I did skimp on the swim a bit towards the end of the month because I had already met my goal, so maybe I should have made a bigger goal. June will be a different month, I'll be lucky to reach half the volume.

May's 2010 totals:
Bike:	37h 10m 08s  - 615.15 Mi
Run:	19h 06m 36s  - 122.97 Mi
Swim:	8h 58m 55s  - 25091.52 M

May's 2009 totals:
Bike:	14h 38m 14s - 219.64 Mi
Run:	3h 36m 46s - 23.28 Mi
Swim:	3h 25m - 5988.48 M

So, 2010 = 2009 x 3-4

May 2009 totals:

ZERO swim, bike, or run.  Too much plaster + titanium + wound care going on.

I did really well at the beginning of the month, but moving at the end of the month really cut into my training.  I'm all moved into the new place, and only have to clean the old place now.  So hopefully June won't suffer.  I've got E-man coming up, then plan on ramping up the training for IMFL in Nov.

Not too bad considering I was in a wedding and moved into a new apartment near the end of the month so super busy and exhausted and no time for training.

Biggest bike and run (and total) volume for a month since I started tracking here in Oct 09.  Last May I thought I was badass by getting in maybe 5 hours a week of spin class/maybe a weekend bike, short runs that were too high intensity and too low in volume, and somewhat coordinated splashing efforts that slowly propelled me across a pool.  In my second and third OWSs races in May, I swam the entire way with my head out of the water (same as my first, its not efficient but putting my head under water and not being able to see anything freaked me out) and hated every second of it.  I'd like to think I've improved a little since then, if only that I can now OWS with my head in the water.

Swim:  18550.42 Yd - 5h 44m 34s
Bike:    188.78 Mi - 12h 57m 22s
Run:     39.37 Mi - 8h 20m 41s

May was just not good month for me physically.  I was having health issues for the beginning of the month - finally got all that figured out and then crashed my bike at Columbia... now battling hip pain that I am praying will clear up in time for Eagleman..  I miss my bike...
