And the final mileage is.....

Its January 3rd, 2011 and its time to figure out the last year riding season, pick goals and assign some metrics.  First the mileage:  3401km and 142 hours!  I probably spent more time on my bike than any other activity, next to family time, working and sleeping.  I don't now where I'll find the time this year to ride without sacrificing the other 3 things on my list.  To get the 2011 key metrics is to analyse the peaks of the weeks of 2010.  I started riding around March.  And peaked for the year around mid July.  That's 4 months of riding and after May I started to put on big mileage with the Circle Ride (160km - Day 1 and 120 km - Day 2).  There was a lesser peak during the week of Granfondo. 

During the x-mas break, I've established 3 key goals to establish me a key athlete. 
  1. Duathlon - March 7th - 5km run - 20 km ride - 5 km run. 
  2. Kelowna Granfondo - July 12th - 120km
  3. Levi Granfondo - Oct 1st - 160km
Key metrics for me to follow:

- increase leg speed through running for the duathlon. 
- increase VO2 max through more hill climbing
- increase cycling average speed through intervals.

So, I've started running and its been hard. And cycling on the trainer has been harder (boring).
