August was my last full month of triathlon training. \u00a0My last triathlon of the season is September 9th, so I can only assume that my training goals will shift somewhat over the off-season. \u00a0I’m hoping for less swimming and expecting more running, but we’ll see what my coach has in store for me. \u00a0There is nothing I find harder than dragging myself to the pool on a cold dark morning, and now that team swim has ended (at least for now), finding that motivation is going to be tough.<\/p>\n

August was a pretty good month. \u00a0My one race this month went way better than I planned. \u00a0I was expecting a bit of a mediocre race, and instead beat all of my goals. \u00a0Let’s hope that trend continues.<\/p>\n

August Totals:
\nSwim – 5.5 miles
\nBike – 208 miles
\nRun – 40 miles<\/p>\n

I didn’t realize how low my run miles were, but I did miss one long run this month due to volunteering. \u00a0I should have planned better so I could get the run in, but I was just exhausted. \u00a0A better plan would have been an afternoon nap followed by a run, but it is what it is.<\/p>\n

2017 Totals:<\/strong>
\nSwim – 38.5 miles
\nBike – 1547 miles
\nRun – 356 miles<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
