November in Review: Book-Ended by Races, and OK Training in the Middle
>> Saturday, December 06, 2025
November was nothing special. It started with a slightly disappointing 8K CC race and ended with a much more exciting Turkey Trot 5K. And the middle was decent. Here's a glace at last month:
• BIKE: 89.47 miles
• RUN: 88.70 miles (not great - taking it easy because of the 2 races)
• TRAINER TIME: 12 hours 0 mins
• STRENGTH TIME: 54 hours and 50 mins (quite nice!)
I finally (BARELY) got my biking mileage higher than my run mileage for the first time since August! (That won't happen again this month!... Maybe not until March!) I only had 1 real outdoor "training" ride early in the month, and the rest of the rides were just spinning out my legs with my mountain bike.
Nothing was great about my run total, but I got in those 2 races and 2 speed workouts in the month (busting my pinky after one of those speed days).
And strength time was decent! I've been getting a lot of that in lately, and I love that!
As I posted about on Thursday, I had a NICE BIG WEEK later in the month! Followed by a small race week. The big week was an "intensity minutes" PR for me with over 2100 minutes! (And that week was a strength time PR as well - 16 hours and 22 mins!)
Hoping to wrap up a solid week this weekend!!
