Yeah, yeah, it's a little sad that the last post I had was the mid-year report. I've been silent for 6 months. I actually have several posts written, but never ended up posting them. Turns out that the final semester of college is pretty busy. Oh well. The good news is I have many posts cached that I can release every once in a while. My goal is to send one out every week. Anyways, on with the report!
Final Mileage Report:
Bike miles: ??? (2300+)
Run miles: ??? (1000+)
Turns out Strava does not tell you how much you rode and ran in a year. It will only tell you your mileage in the year your are in and the grand total. This year, I shall have to remember to check my final report before the calendar year ends. Nevertheless, the estimates I placed up there are close to accurate. I crossed the 1000 milestone sometime in early December and I had clocked 2300 miles or so before the winter months shut me down. These come shockingly close to my stated goals for the year. Go me!
Status on Previous Year's Goals
I never thought this day would come, but I actually do enjoy it now. I'm not as slow as I once was, and have started getting comfortable on the saddle. Actually, I wish I could do more riding than the weather currently permits, since my bike fitness has gone down the drain.
Well... Maybe next year. Seriously spectators, I can't take the pictures by myself. This one isn't bad though, so It's not a total loss.
Then again, there are plenty that look like this

Yikes.
Nevertheless, let us not forget the many accomplishments I've accrued over the year. I finished my first Ironman, set new records for all of the distances I raced in, and even won a local half Ironman! So yeah, not a bad year.
Goals for This Year
Well, a long year stands ahead of me. I hope I'm ready for it!
