2014 Recap

12.26.14

This year has been good in some ways, bad in others.  I set out this year to accomplish a few things:

5000 total miles, a 15k, 13.1, 70.3, 26.2. All of this distances would be my 1st attempt at the distance.   

As evidenced by my mileage (2067 as of 12.25), my training regiment has been poor, as this will be the lowest mileage total for me in 3 years.  

Additionally, my diet has been poor, and my alcohol intake (specifically beer), has been far too high. 

My current weight (~205) is proof.  

Twice this year I set out to begin training for a 70.3, only to be derailed by poor training, lack of swim time, injuries, or, simply, life in general.  

While my training sucked, my racing schedule was somewhat impressive. 

I've completed 43 events to date, including several at distances I'd never competed until this year.  

They include: 

6 50+ mile bike rallies

7 5ks

1 6k

1 4 miler

6 10k's

2 15k's

3 10 milers

3 duathlons

9 triathlons

5 half marathons

I may get one more event in by the end of the year.

For 2015:

Quality over quantity. Fewer events, longer distances.  

Commit to training diligently.  Including in the water. 

Be mindful of my diet.  It went to shit this year. 

The year of less beer.  Nuff said. 

I'm targeting longer distance races early in the year.  The kind of distances that I will have to train for. 

Ready, set, go.
