For all stats fans, here are some numbers and facts. The season was unusually long for me at exactly 52 weeks, so all those big numbers need to be viewed in that context. Three Ironmans and the necessary training leave their marks…
That said, I’ve never swum, ridden or run this much in a single year before — 742 hours total. That’s an average of about 14 hours of sport per week, with the biggest week clocking in at 32 hours and the easiest at just 7.

Writing this up and putting it all together, I was actually shocked at myself — I hadn’t expected this much. When you consider that about 10 years ago I was barely scraping together 10,000km on the bike and now I’ve got over 2,000km more than that, plus loads of swimming and running on top… how did it possibly escalate this far??!??! 😉 Help!!?!?!?!?!?!?
