Totals: Month Ending August 2011

As August hit my focus turned from multisport training to gearing up for fall running events. And this is reflected in my numbers. I still may hit some late season duathlons in Texas, but that won't be decided for a few more weeks yet. So my swim training will continue to dwindle while I maintain some bike fitness. It's all about pounding the pavement at the moment. To the tape:
