May totals

May wasn't too bad for me, training-wise. In fact, despite the fact that I did two races in May (meaning extra days off from training), my May totals were much higher than April.

swim: 20,950 meters
bike: 147.5 km (this was with only one long ride -- I had a race or practice race every weekend in May apart from one and my races and practice races are all sprints)
run: 52.95 km

Ok, so it doesn't look great, but have a look at this:

Swim:
March: 22,150 meters
April: 12,840 meters
May: 20,950 meters

Bike:
March: 113.25 km
April: 117.16 km
May: 147.5 km

Run:
March: 48.2 km
April: 40.07 km
May: 52.95 km

My swim total was a little bit higher in March, but I swim more than I need to anyway, so that doesn't matter. What I really need to work on are the bike and run, so I'm glad that my mileage is increasing, even if it is happening pretty slowly!

I also competed in the Lehavim Triple Super Sprint (1st place in my AG -- I didn't have much competition...) and the Jordan Valley Triathlon (sprint distance -- 5th place in my AG). I also achieved two of my 2005 goals -- to compete in the Lehavim triple and to compete in at least one sprint length triathlon. Oh, and I achieved a 4-year goal -- to reach the age of 40 in the best shape of my life.

I'm not one for setting monthly distance goals, so I don't really have anything in mind for June. Just to keep training and maybe to stop complaining about it so much ;-)
