This weekend finished up my three months of base. It's been fun. Kinda. Not.
Looking back over my calendar for March, it was a pretty stupid month. I didn't take enough rest days (one), there are way too many notes about being tired (I haven't been sleeping well a few nights this month; just stupid tossing and turning and laying there staring at the ceiling. Saturday night was another one of those nights), and as a result there was way too many kinda useless workouts, like 2000y of easy swimming where I was so exhausted I thought I was going to fall asleep in the pool. Now that didn't really serve a purpose did it?
It hasn't been a great month in general, what with the no good, looking for jobs, accepting a job, having them rescind the offer, looking for jobs more and general craziness of the last 3 or 4 weeks. It wasn't good for training either. Sure I had lots of time, but I was cranky and tired and stressed out and not having a whole lot of fun.
Now, I have a new job. Yay! I'm moving to Marin (which will also be a little stressful) and I'm hoping to get focused with my workouts.
I just need to find the good biking and running routes around San Rafael and a good Masters program to swim with. And then everything will be set.

I've got 2 rest days and I do about 12-17 hours a week! You definitely need more rest - especially if you do more running. I went from 5 days of running to 3 and my speed went up by almost a full minute per mile once I did that. Go hard Sat and Sun, rest monday (easy 30 min swim), more focused workouts Tues-Thurs, easy day Friday (super super easy recovery swim) and hit it hard on the weekend!
