April Training Recap

It was my goal to ride 200 miles a week in April. That means that I should have hit over 800 miles over the course of the month. Unfortunately, I fell short of that goal and only got 714 miles of riding in. I think that the weather was the largest factor in not meeting my goal. There were still quite a few days that I couldn't ride because of the rain.

As I look forward to May, I want to keep the same total mileage goal, but I want to focus on riding fewer, but longer rides. In April my longest single ride was only 52 miles. Most of my riding was accumulated by lots of short 12-20 mile rides (i.e. commuting back and forth to work). I really need to get in longer rides to start building my endurance.

Couldn't ride because of the rain? In Utah? Wimp.

You're right :( It really wasn't the rain that was the problem. I'm not opposed to riding in the rain. But I don't like riding in the rain when it's 35 degrees outside. When it's 50 or 60 degrees then I'm fine to ride in the rain.

I like Master Fob's comment! :) But then I live in Hawaii where it could be 85 degrees while raining.

Oooh (disappointment). *O*N*L*Y* 714. Too bad. ;)

On a more serious note: WOW! You are in such good shape!
