Swim
Big gains first half of the month putting up a 14x100 sub 80sec avg! Consistent time in the pool in Dec/Jan seems to be getting me more comfortable in the water. Not sure my race splits with be that much better, but hopefully I'll have more in the tank for the rest of the crazziness. Been monitoring right sided shoulder pain- likely rotor cuff impingement. Stretching esp straight arms back seems to help. Might need to back off the yardage a bit.
Bike
Revved up the cycling this month trying to get some good time in FTH doing repeats up OLH. It's so much easier pushing it outside and up a climb.
As I built up time in the saddle I started to noticed similar pain in my proximal fibula, that I had in November 2011, but this time on the left . I knew it was unlikely to be a stress fx given I took so much time off running. After some research and mostly dumb luck found some sources hinting a tight ITB as a possible cause. Funny because it is below the knee. I have been doing tons of foam rolling and stretching both all but eliminated the pain. Also have been using inserts (Sole and Superfeet Yellow) which might be helping Makes me question my injury DX back in November.
Run
Slowly building back the run. Kicking it mostly in the Newton Gravity's, which I'm lovin! Focusing on form as a priority. Although not a lot to report "no news is good news"as Paul likes to say.
Nutrition
Wt has been around 180-182. Not dropping the lbs, but training hard and with some patience and discipline hope to get this down.
