What did you log this year?

This being in the triathlon section, no one should be surprised that many posters track their numbers, since that's often part of a triathlon training program. My coach also uses Training Peaks, so as I report what I do for each assigned workout, TP amasses that data for me. Good thing, because I find the act of logging stuff kind of boring. As part of training, though, it has a real purpose.

Since January, I've done:

119,560 yards swim
1601 miles bike. But I never enter "trainer miles", so I have no idea what those would add. I have a hard time grasping the idea of "trainer miles". :)
295 miles run.

Good point. Triathletes do tend to be a little different....good or bad, who knows, but I think we are a little different.

I don't log trainer miles either...good point!

Yeah, that's where that alternate triathlete name comes from;)

I log trainer minutes.

Thom made me a nice little training log in Excel. That makes it easy to see what I've done since the December 21, which is when I decided I needed a log.

Yoga Count:63
Total Road Miles (Bike): 861.63
Total Run Miles: 217.76
Total Video Minutes (Bike): 686
Total Personal Trainer Hours: 78
Total Swim Yards: 6,200

Those values include distances raced. I've done a HIM, a sprint and a trail run this year. I've got a duathlon coming up. You can see I put a lot of time into my swimming. :D

I log everything on BeginnerTriathlete.com and on Bike Journal

My log is here.

Veronica-- What dedication to your swimming ;) (which I only say because I know how sincerely dedicated you are to the rest of your training/nutrition!!!)

I wish swimming was a bigger part of the race. My HIM swim this year was just over 37 minutes - not a great time. But fantastic when you realize how little I trained for it.

Last year was just over 34 minutes with a lot more time spent in the pool.

I've made some good progress with my running, so maybe this year will be a little more balanced.

I would like to run as much as some of you are running and have set that as my goal for 2010, the problem is if I run more, then I have to take something else away, ok, I can't take any more time out of work, I am already at the minimum to keep my job, I can't take it out of swimming, which is my wake up activity and I LOVE, I can't take it out of cycling, cause I LOVE cycling, and I can't take it out of gym/core/yoga/weights, since I don't ever really get around to doing them.....
My solution is to run in my sleep like dogs!:D

I will never do a triathalon since I don't know how to swim and haven't gotten into jogging. (Not sure I could muster up the enthusiasm. I love cycling too much.)

So I am curious....how much time do folks spend per day training for triathalon..including whatever strength training, etc. to complement jogging, swimming and cycling?

Y'all so dedicated. :)

I usually train 2x swim/bike/run per week with a long ride on the weekend. I usually log about 7 hours total per week. I wish I had a bit more time to give to training but I need to balance the rest of my life.

1,971 miles on my bike; ditto on not logging training miles or spinning class either. I also have about 90 hours of strength training at the gym this year.

It's not even Halloween and we're doing year-end totals? :confused: I know tri season is pretty well over, but there are plenty of foot races and CX/mountain bike races left!



ETA: I guess if the stores have had their Christmas decorations out for two months now, maybe it is time for year-end totals after all.

I log all my workouts on beginnertriathlete.com
This is what I did between July and September (8 weeks) for my first sprint tri:

Bike: 325.77 Mi - 23h 24m 06s
Run: 54.19 Mi - 10h 20m 15s
Swim: 15388.81 Yd - 7h 52m 10s

What's your username on BT? I'm there as MDHillSlug.

I am on BT too, but I usually just use the Georgia section. I am the same name. I love the logs on there, but there are only so many places a person can log her data:rolleyes:
