Ok, so i finally was able to get my data out of Slowtwitch--here is how 2016 stacked up against 2014--my last "normal" triathlon training year (I did Kona that year):
Swim
I did 90 swims (once every four days) for a total of 144,355 yards or about 1603 yards/session. In 2014 I did 311,688 yards so i was at about 46% of my "normal" total. This is not surprising as fairly early in the year I decided to focus principally on climbing (Kilimanjaro and Elbrus) and not do the Roth IM. Still I did enough to get back into triathlon. (I'll cover my plans for 2017 in a post in the next few days.)
Bike
320 rides for a total of 8,141 miles or about 25.4 miles/ride. In 2014 I did 8,412 miles so pretty much the same overall effort. I would say I did more rides this year but far less long rides as i did not pursue an Ironman this year.
Run/Hike
1,510 runs/hikes in 201 sessions (7.5 mile/average). These numbers are very much influenced by all of the hiking/climbing I did. I would guess my actual run mileage was closer to 700 miles or so. In 2014 I did 1,483 miles but the vast majority of that was running.
Other
103 hours vs. 32 in 2014--this reflects all the alternative/cross training and PT work I do now, especially to prepare me for mountain climbing.
Total Time
1,028 hours vs. 905 in 2014. This is the first year that I've recorded more than 1,000 hours of working out/training. While my training has moved away from being tri-specific and it's also become less intense, I still was pretty committed to training this year, and for sure, a great bounce back from my "off-year" of 2015 with my major back and leg problems.
More to come....
