2010 Year in Review

Even though we are already a quarter of the year into 2011, it is finally time to summarize 2010 with a few facts and figures.  What better way to show this data then a bunch of charts!

 

First off here is a calendar showing each activity for the year:

Blue = Swims

Green = Runs

Red = Bike Rides

Yellow = Races

Black = Snowboarding

 

Next we have a graph that is basically tracking my fitness and race readiness throughout the year:

Blue shading is form (how in shape I was)

Red line is fatigue (how tired I was)

Yellow bars are the “stress” from each workout

The Brown shading at the top indicates race readiness – the higher it is above the horizon the greater the amount of taper, which should improve performance for that particular race.  It is basically the value of the blue minus the value of the red.

 

 

Next let’s break down each individual sport and see how much training I did:

Swimming:

157,170 yards/89.3 miles

49:49:44

89 swims
