Year in Review

Whew - I finished my last workout of 2005 this morning. Here's a recap of December:

Bike: 4h 9m 09s - 63.8 Mi
Run: 12h 2m 59s - 72.24 Mi
Swim: 3h 54m 13s - 11,944.01 Yd

I'm still in Phase I of the plan. I've got about 6 weeks till the Half Marathon. Training is coming along nicely. I've tried to round out my workouts so I'm a little more balanced in the three sports. I'm having a great time.

All the holiday food and winter eating has caused me to level out in the weight loss area. I've been hovering around 190 - 195lbs for most of the month. That will change very soon. I'm hoping to be firmly in the 180's by mid-February and in the low 180's by the BSLT 70.3.

I started tracking workouts in Mid-June of this year. Overall, I'm very surprised by the numbers. It's crazy to watch the time and miles pile up. Check it out:

Bike: 47h 38m 56s - 725.33 Mi
Run: 48h 51m 51s - 283.88 Mi
Swim: 21h 18s - 58,871.17 Yd

Special thanks to beginnertriathlete.com. This is a great spot for us tri-newbies. I dropped just over 40lbs this year. It's hysterical to check out the pictures I posted on Flickr (Before, After). I completed my first 5K races this year, a 5-mile Turkey Trot, 2 Sprint Triathlons and a 100K organized ride. This year I'm planning to completed a Half-Marathon, Half-Ironman, and at least 1 Century ride.

Thanks everyone for a great year. Thanks to my wonderful family. You make my life special. M you are the best official sponsor ever. To everyone - have a safe and prosperous new year!
