1,000 meters on 10/24/11 = 18:45
Definitely on the slow side and room for a lot improvement. I have been swimming for a month consistently now and should see nice time advantage soon. Goal for next swim will be low 18 minutes.

Solid 11 miles after maxing weight on squats.
It was a little chilly, but ran 11 with Tim F today. Target HR was 150-155 and I came in at 153. Pace was a 7:33. Goal 7:30. Really pleased seeing how I maxed my squats yesterday at 185lbs.
10 hours in November?!
I haven't done it yet, but if I ride for an hour tomorrow I will hit 10 hours this week. Its pretty tough to do without the long weekend ride, but I did all but 1 workout this week. (Missed the Friday bike even though I actually got on my bike and rode 2 miles - Freezing and starving)
I have slowly built up to this and not feeling to zombie like. The weights were killing me for a while, but I am feeling pretty confident that they are just a part of the routine.
So PSYCHED for 2012! It is going to be awesome!
0:30:00 min swim
0:1:30 transition
2:26:00 bike
0:01:00 transition
1:27:00 HIM
4:25:00
You can do this!

Great week
Swim - -
My swimming is steadily improving again. I am super focused on form and I consistently swimming 100 in the 1:45 range. 4 swims this week is also a highlight of the week. Short swims, but every bit helps.
BIke
Pretty steady. I did some drills this week and i will continue to do work on that. I feel my power at leisure is increasing as well. Overall I am still getting out on the road quite a bit.
Run
No clue... Really up and down, but I have lost some speed. I feel like I am put A LOT into the base runnning. I'd like to get my long runs down to 7min pace with a 150 HR. Right now it is about a 730 with 150hr. The weights have been slowing me down, so I am thinking I am closer to a 715 pace at 150hr.
Weights
Maxed out the squats at 185lbs today! Pretty psyched. Definitely hard, but really cool. The other weights have been increasing as well. Trying to not get to into maxing out with the upper body. I'd rather just improve endurance on the weights I am currently lifting.
Overall feel pretty good. A little tired day to day, but that is getting less and less.

Where I am in...
I am pretty lost as to my fitness right now. I have been lifting for roughly a month and I definitely feel stronger. I have done more squats in the last month than I ever have. The issue with this is that I am running so SLOW. I know that I am building a base, but a little concerning.
Weight 157lbs - I'd like to maintain this and not have it go up
Strength - Feeling pretty strong
Swim - Poor endurance, but form is solid. My left catch has improved quite a bit.
Bike - Not a lot of endurance, but feel pretty good that I am riding twice a week.
Run- Pretty slow
I think that I am training more now than I ever have in a November. Averaging right around 8 hours a week. Pretty good number for November.
