B2B training stats

Here is the overall totals for the training leading up to and including the Beach to Battleship Ironman.
Sport____Time(Hours)___Miles____Calories
* Swimming --- 60.43 ------ 123.16 ------ 36,000
* Biking ----- 183.20 ------ 3018.6 ------ 190,000
* Running ---- 150.63 ------ 890.08 ------ 147,000
* Core/Other - 34.50
* Totals ----- 428.76 ------ 4031.84 ----- 373,000

so about 430 hours and 4030 miles of training / racing. I am still amazed that I did all that. I have to say consistency was my greatest asset during the year. and now just for fun, a closer look into the numbers.

Average per month
swimming - 5.5 hours and 11.5 miles
Biking - 17 hours and 283 miles
Running - 14 hours and 84 miles
total 37 hours and 380 miles

over the last 3 months ( Aug,Sept,Oct), the averages were a bit higher.
swimming - 7.3 hours and 14.5 miles
biking - 23 hours and 385 miles
running - 19.5 hours and 113 miles
total 50 hours and 512 miles

Biggest Months
overall was October with 55.5 hours and 584 miles
Swim was September with 8.5 hours and 13 miles
bike and run were October with 27 biking hours and 23 running hours, 440 biking miles and 130 running miles

lets just say October was a bitch and leave it at that.

Biggest week
overall was 9/27 with 18 hours and 210.5 miles ( ouch! )
swim was 7/19 with 3 hours and 5 miles ( that's not that much ).
bike was 9/27 with 11 hours and 176 miles ( beach ride, mucho pain-o).
run was 10/18 with 6.25 hours and 37 miles

lbs of fat burned
the calorie burn is the best estimate I could find on the web if you divide that by 3500 calories to burn 1 lb of fat you get 106.5, but really I lost 15 lbs during the initial 5 months and then gained back 5 during the big build up over the last 3 months. It was just too hard to exercise that much and not eat everything in site, so my recommendation is to lose as much as you can during that first few months because it won't be as psychologically defeating when you gain some back. Worked for me, and that's all that really matters :-).
