January Numbers & A Dubious Milestone

Before I get to the numbers, let's talk about that dubious milestone, shall we?  For the first time in about 5 years, I have not logged a single mile on the bike (or trainer), in a full month.  When I had my bike crash in August of 2009, I was off the bike for about 10 -12 weeks, but was on the trainer regularly.  It feels kind of bizarre, but with my focus on swimming and the emergence of enjoying running during the cold months, it makes perfect sense.  Last year, my shortest month in, in terms of mileage, was 94.84 while in 2010 it was 164.17.  I have rough total for 2008 and 2009, but it wasn't until I started training for IMAZ 2010 (in December of 2009) that I started keeping accurate data.  As of today, 74 days after IMAZ2012, my tri bike hasn't moved on the rack in my garage.  In fact, I STILL haven't put my regular wheels back on and Carlos still has my skewers in his racing wheels/disc that I borrowed!!!!

One final note before the numbers.  Today is the first day, since last Friday, that I am completely free of any soreness from Frank's workout and I go back tomorrow for more!!!!!

I'm not going to keep a running tally of TOTAL mileage/yardage, rather I will just compare the monthly results.  Maybe I'll do a total comparison quarterly.  With that in mind, here you go!


JANUARY 2010 TOTALS:
SWIM = 0 yards
BIKE = 364.75 miles
RUN = 32 miles

JANUARY 2012 TOTALS:
SWIM = 7500 yards
BIKE = 258.4 miles
RUN = 0 miles

JANUARY 2013 TOTALS:
SWIM = 19750 yards
BIKE = 0 miles
RUN = 26.89 miles
ENDLESS POOL =  90 Minutes
