Can't say I ever really thought about it, and I don't log my training, but I have a pretty good idea of what I did this year just by knowing what my normal week is like. So my numbers are just a guess, but an educated one. This was my first year training for a triathlon, and I did one sprint tri and one "super sprint."
62,500 yards of swimming
225 miles running
700 miles biking
I really didn't bike much at all during the winter--from January to March I was swimming twice a week and running two or three days a week, plus pilates twice a week. In the eight weeks before the August triathlon, my training plan was identical to MDHillSlug's - 2 times per week each bike/swim/run, seven hours total each week.
Since August I've only gone running maybe half a dozen times, and have only been on my bike three times. I managed to kill my knee on the leg press machine two weeks after the triathlon and I've finally decided it's not getting better on its own so I'm going to an orthopaedist tomorrow. Ugh.
