My totals so far (including the first few days of May): Run - 302.5 mi, Bike - 1358.8 mi, Swim 67.9 mi.
As a point of comparison, the last time I trained for an Ironman, these were my totals through April: Run - 105.3, Bike - 843.9, Swim - 27.36. Yep, I had no idea what I was doing!
The Kinetic Half-Ironman is next weekend. It represents the "halfway point" for training. The Half is a totally different race than the Olympic, because you can never be 100% prepared in all three disciplines. A 6-hour race also takes a good deal more strategy than a 2.5-hour race. In years past, I have been weak in either the swim or the bike. I've tried to keep everything a little more balanced this time around, but I am probably the weakest in the run. Overall run mileage is on target, but I have not run over 12 miles at a time for the last 6 months. My hope is that because of the extra time I've spent on the bike and in the pool, I'll have a little more energy at the end.
