Cross Training Gone Awry

I think that to consider what you do cross training that you need to pick a primary sport. I have been having trouble with that though so given that, I'm not sure if I can actually say that I've been cross training. Can I even say that I've been training if there is no focused goal? I think that I've abandoned training and am just exercising. A subtle but important difference.

Here's the thing - In the last week I've biked once, run twice, been to the swimming pool twice, did one strength workout, did one rollerski/ski plyometrics workout and did one trail workday. It's funny because I would consider myself either a cyclist or a skier but I did more running and swimming. Wow, it's clear that I have no focus . . . . and it's very clear that riding a century in 3 weeks will be unbelievably painful.

I probably should make an effort to change those workout stats but I figure this weekend I will swim once, bike once and run once. Hmmm . . . . what does this mean? Probably that cyclocross season is going to start very painfully for me if I don't start riding more.
