As I said last month, stating monthly training totals are a bit odd--for several reasons. Mainly because different periods of training may be involved so even if your season is progressing, increasing in intensity and/or volume, volume from one month to the following could decrease depending on how your R&R weeks fall. Also, a month may end mid-week. For March, it started on a Monday (good because training weeks usually start on Mondays), but March ended on a Thursday.
A couple things happened in March that are worth mentioning, otherwise it was a pretty quiet, but good month of training. I raced once, and had one minor set back in training. I have never ran in a race this early in the year (save for the Resolution Run in 2009, but that was just for the heck of it) so I wasn't expecting anything great, but I managed to PR my 5k time. So I am not the fastest guy in the world, and it wasn't a big race (Lucky Green 5K), but it was nice to PR. Jace also raced in March--his earliest race too, but he came thru with a decent time, and wasn't sore at all the next day--despite NO running training or practice runs. I also had an injury scare--more paranoia I think--but at the time I thought I totally blew out my left calf. Its still bothering me a little, but after a few days of rest from running, foam rolling the he// out it, I feel a lot better and am able to run.
Anyway, here are the monthly numbers March 2011:
Swim: 16725.00 Yds - 6h 46m 20s
Bike: 333.50 Mi - 19h 00m 38s
Run: 97.24 Mi - 12h 15m 57s
Strength: 3h 14m
TOTAL MARCH TRAINING: 41 hours, 16 minutes, 55 seconds
