While looking at my yearly miles in the saddle, I realized an interesting tidbit about the total miles ridden on my tri bike vs. the total miles ridden on my MTB. My "year" starts in December, so November is the last month for me to close final numbers out. The reason that my year starts in December goes back to my first IM in 2010. Back then, I signed up in November and completely freaked out about what I had just done. I thought that I needed to start training right away and thus, started keeping data in December and haven't changed it since.
As of today, November 11th, I've amassed 1019.62 miles on my tri bike (since December 2012) and a whopping 930.58 on my MTB (since June 2013). Always trying to find some kind of goal or milestone to accomplish, I figured out that I can accumulate more MTB miles than tri miles before my "year" is up. I guess that this is another one of those entries that isn't really ground breaking or Earth shattering, rather it's just a way for me to chronicle my accomplishments and to be accountable for challenges that I present to myself.
The difference between mileage is 89.04. There are 19 days left in November, but because of football coaching commitments, morning child transportation duties, Thanksgiving, Ironman (I'll be spectating this year and cheering on our athletes), and other unseen items that may pop up, I figure that I have between 10 - 14 days to get it done. That equates to rides ranging from 9 miles to just over 6. Lately, I've been going out for an hours worth that nets just under 12 miles. If I were to keep just doing those same rides, I would only need about 8 days to accomplish my goal. So, here we go!
