Just did my last update for the year. Thanks for maintaining it MCOS- it's nice to see the number for the year tot up.

Looking forward to the new year now, I'll be up at 0630 for a swim/bike/run to claim some early glory!

Happy new year.

Awaiting a monster update from Oryx or Dory

Ha! Too funny! I haven't been on this thread in probably 10 or 11 months, so my update would be quite massive indeed, relatively speaking. Well done to all who participated in this challenge. Happy New Year folks!!!

Oryx

I'm done. Sorry to disappoint Totals similar to last year. Swim up by just a few kms, bike up 500, run down about 80. Good enough. Gave me the results I wanted, fingers crossed for next year!

Mixed year for me. Swim total up a little, run total down a lot and bike total up about 3000kms! Falls and injuries messed things up a lot but I probably wouldn't have taken this new road heading towards bike racing this year if I hadn't had my big crash :-)

Looking forward to seeing what this year brings.

Shell to Run

Overall a good year for me. Stayed injury free, which at my age is a great success!! Training was very consistent. I had a total of 41 rest days. Working off resting HR I made my decision whether to train based on high HR and this was extremely useful.
Swim was down (a little!), bike up and run the same. Overall I am happy with training level this year. Intensity in bike has improved so hopefully this will pay dividends in 2014.
Best wishes to all with their training in 2014. Some fantastically impressive scores in this challenge so well done.

Woeful Year for me but injury and other priorities dictated

High of the year:
Finishing the Warrior of the Sea 6km swim after having my first ever panic attack a mile out from land

Low of the year:
A few to choose from but picking one it would be the DNF at Donadea. Really enjoyed running with Beepbeep and Abhainn for a few laps and the achilles issue that handed me that DNF and prevented any planned subsequent sub3 attempt plagues me still :mad:

Totals:
Swim down 150
Bike down 5,000
Run down 1,300

Delighted to be starting a new year clean slate and all that. Significant time will be invested in conditioning, stretching and rolling this year!

Happy New Year All

Strong first 6months of the year (training wise) with the back end of the year being very all over the place.
S - 2012 - 374,000mtrs// 2013 - 226,250mtrs
B - 2012 - 8814kms// 2013 - 8,948kms
R - 2012 - 2415kms// 2013 - 2291.7kms

So swim volume well down, run volume down a bit and bike marginally ahead on last year although i have done feck all cycling of late.

Thanks for the heads up E. Final sort done and 2013 SBR Challenge is closed.

Well done to all who participated and particularly those who gained motivation, momentum or anything else positive form it.

2013 Champs
Fazz & RacoonQueen

Well done both of you!

For some reason I can't view it anymore, it goes to a signin page.

Sorry locked the file instead of the sheet. Changed that now

Things like that are great when you're going through a bad stage and just want to pack it in. Plodding around runs and splashing about pools enough to beat Fergal.

Seems I beat him too. I'm happy enough to come 7th behind such training behemoths. And it does keep you going sometimes, prevents you going 'sod it' on days you know you should but the couch is comfy.

Thanks again for another great table MCOS! You're the best!

High praise indeed, that I might be a training target for either of you two...

All the best for 2014!
