I am still in my "off-season" mode. By looking at my numbers and comparing to previous years, this means that I am swimming less, but doing more biking and running than in previous Novembers. So, I guess I am not taking that much time off.
I did one 5k in November. It was at the Dakota Athletic Center, I think that is what it is called, out by Mystic Lake Casino. It is on the golf course, actually it is on the paved cart path, and it is not flat. It was also windy and cold, below freezing. It hurt, I was sucking wind the whole day. I had a slow day. My time was 24:57, which comes out to 8:03min/mi. Not terribly impressive, but it is November.
On Thanksgiving Day Jackie and I did the Kenosha Mayor's Run. There is a 10k and 2 mi, we did the 2 mi down by the Lakeshore. Nice run. Good course with a mix of flat and some up and down.
On Monday nights I have been doing the CompuTrainer TT race at OptumHealth Performance. It is extremely painful. There is a 12.4mi course and a 27.2mi course, both are not flat, very challenging to go as hard as you can. I did the short course 3 times and the long course one time. Below are my times.
1st Short Course - 38:53 (19.1MPH)
2nd Short Course - 40:10 (18.5MPH)
3rd Shourt Course - 38:11 (19.5MPH)
1st Long Course - 1:41:11 (16.1MPH) - The long course is basically all uphill.
The 5 fastest times for the month, plus the course CR, are kept on the white board by the trainers for both the long course and short course, for both male and female. At the end of the month, the fastest person gets a prize.
I spent one week in November in a Holiday Inn Express Motel (not a typo, it was a motel, not a hotel) in CA. It had a terrible workout room. So I did some elliptical and upper body strength stuff on the small weight thing that was in the workout room.
I did a total of 1 hour of elliptical for the month, I don't count this as running, and about 45 minutes of strength work for the month.
