I am excited to be able to participate this year in the annual Tour de Cullman – an informal training ride, race, and party put on by Carson Glasscock and the Cullman Cycling Club. Check out the topocreator.com map I made. I’ll report back on Sunday about all the fun!
Definitely my best season ever thanks to a growing strong team, some good luck, and a lot of hard work! Here is the summary statistics for my 2009 season racing as a cat 1 for one of the top amateur teams in the South. This year I am reporting my statistics from January 12 – October 4. January 12th was my first training day back from a two-week mission trip to Nicaragua at the beginning of the year, where I also had the opportunity to race and win a local criterium on a borrowed bike. October 4th was the date of my last race for this year’s season. So over the course of those 266 days, I logged these statistics:
| Statistic | Avg | Max | Min | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly training time (hours) | 14.72 | 20.77 | 8.7 | 559.72 |
| Weekly distance (miles) | 268.4 | 369.4 | 187.9 | 10,197 |
| Workouts per week (#) | 9 | 13 | 4 | 443 |
| Weekly climbing (feet) | 14,124 | 29,275 | 4,062 | 536,772 |
Just for fun, I’ve also included my yearlong stats from 10/5/08 – 10/4/09:
| Statistic | Avg | Max | Min | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly training time (hours) | 13.3 | 20.77 | 1.82 | 691.65 |
| Weekly distance (miles) | 237.5 | 369.4 | 31.5 | 12,350 |
| Workouts per week (#) | 9 | 13 | 4 | 493 |
| Weekly climbing (feet) | 13,261 | 29,275 | 4,062 | 663,032 |
