This August I had 3 Olympic distance triathlons and one TT. With all that racing, I cut back on training a little bit. I had USAT AG Nationals, Lake Marion, and Maple Grove. USAT and Maple Grove were a little slower than last year, but still not too bad. Lake Marion was my first time doing the Olympic. My time was not great but I managed to win my AG, so that made up for a slower time.
I already posted my TT results for this year and my past results. I was able to finish fairly strong, tying my fastest time for the year.
8/11 - 10 miles = 26:47 (22.85MPH)
I think I had decent month training. Not too much to say about it. It was only the second month this year that I swam more than I biked. With 3 races and a TT, most of my hard biking was during a race, I kept it a little easier when I did training runs. Same thing went for my running. I kept my training runs a little short and a little easier. I have not been running as good as last year, so I am not sure killing myself at this point is going to be useful.
Compared to previous Augusts, this was a little bit less. Last August, I swam a little less, biked a little more, and ran a little more.
Below are the usual charts. I have been able to maintain, on average, including weeks when I did no training for some reason or another, 2 hours of cycling, a little less than 2 hours of swimming, and an hour of running per week. Consistency.
