Review of 2011 numbers

While looking at the numbers for 2011 I realized I did not do a good job at all of keeping track of the activity the miles or hours are associated with, so the numbers below reflect the many run and very few bike miles logged this past year.  The numbers do not include the swim miles because I did very few and did not track those at all.  The year had very few races because of the need to strengthen and rest my left knee since I had an extreme case of an overuse injury and coming down with/recovering from pneumonia.

Total mileage for 2011 = 401.94
Total number of training hours for 2011 = 94:31:22.13

The beginning

I've been thinking long and hard on whether or not I would start a blog on my training and decided yes it was something I wanted to do and share with others.  I have learned a lot and gained inspiration from the blogs I read on some what of a regular basis for the past few years and hope mine will do the same for others.  But really I am doing this for myself as an outlet to the frustrations of training and racing and the up and downs that go along with that of an age group athlete.

This initial post is not much and I cannot promise that future posts will be shorter or longer or on a regular basis.  Over the next few days and weeks provide more information on my beginning of becoming an age group athlete.

Happy New Year and Have a great 2012.
