Training Volumes

September is in the book:

78 hours training
41,000 yards swimming
823 miles on the bike
105 miles running

For yucks I reviewed my training volume for the last 4 years, (which is as long as I've kept detailed stats--2010 is through end of September):

Swim

2007: 472,207 yards
2008: 303,076
2009: 253,964
2010: 305,046

Total swim: 1,334,293 yards or about 758 miles. The maximum length of Lake Superior is 350 miles, so I've swum the equivalent of it twice.

Bike

2007: 8,586 miles
2008: 9,185
2009: 7,753
2010: 8,094

Total bike: 33,718 miles. The circumference of the Earth at the Equator is 24, 902 miles so I'm 35% of the way through my 2nd lap.

Run

2007: 1,511 miles
2008: 1,228
2009: 979
2010: 1, 047

Total run: 4,765 miles. The distance from San Diego to Jacksonville is 2,092 miles so I'm well into my third lap across the country running.

Cross-Train

2007: 69 hours
2008: 33
2009: 92
2010: 67

Total Cross-Train: 261 hours.

Total Training Time

2007: 935 hours
2008: 864
2009: 791
2010: 803

Total training hours: 3,393, which is a little more than 141 24-hour days....
