Not a November to remember

After a pretty decent start to my triathlon training in October the wheels fell off a bit in November mainly down to a cold I picked up.  It never got too bad but I felt terrible for an hour or two after waking up and pool chlorine just knocked me for six.  I could continue to try to explain away my woes but really they’re just excuses.  I get one or two colds a year so hopefully I won’t pick up another one until after July 2013.

November by Numbers

November aka Month Two of my Outlaw Training Plan.   Here are the (rather mediocre) stats for the month.

  • 15 training sessions done out of 23 scheduled (a cold and the weather didn’t help)
  • 34K run in 3 hours 45.
  • 199K cycled in just under 8 hours, 94K of that on a turbo
  • 4400m swum in about 2 hours
  • Total exercise including football just over 16 hours.
  • Weight up a fraction 🙁
  • 4 Strava PRs in the month including one KOM on a flat TT segment
