Stats 2011 v 2009 (the 20 weeks up to taper time) by Dazz.

Here is some compelling reading (not!) in comparing 2011 and 2009 IM campaigns.

In comparing the 20 weeks up to today (i.e. 2 weeks before race day) I have done 60hrs less training overall (3hrs per week).

I have swum more (by 11km) in 14 weeks of swim training than last time in 17 weeks. My Avg is 2.0km per week more.

On the bike I have ridden heaps less in the 20 weeks this year, due to not working in the CBD and driving to work at SRG now. On Avg 66km less per week with totals less by a massive 1326km and 48hrs. But my Avg speed has gone up from 29.3 to 30.1km/h.

Running is nearly the same in both years. With my Avg down in 2011 from approx 44km pw in 2009 to 43km per week now.

A summary of this year is;
Swim 110km in 32:05 hrs
Ride 3479km in 115:369 hrs
Run 858km in 69:28 hrs
