Here are some of my training stats from 2012.

Events

• Around The Bay (30k)
• 2 Marathons (Toronto Waterfront and Scotiabank)
• 1 Ultra (The North Face Endurance Challenge San Fran)
• 2 70.3’s (Panama and New Orleans)
• 1 Full Iron (Mont Tremblant)

Injuries

• Shin-splints for IM70.3 Panama – yea this one really sucked
• Shoulder strain from poor swim form – form fixed, shoulder too 🙂
• Adductor Magnus strain from 50k mud run in San Fran – repairing 😉

All in all a pretty amazing year.  On tap for 2013?

• Chilly 1/2 Marathon (C-Race)
• Around The Bay (B-Race)
• Toronto Waterfront and Scotiabank Marathons (C-Race)
• Leadman Epic 125 in Tempe, AZ (A-Race)
• Ironman Mont Tremblant (A-Race)
• probably 1 or 2 sprint/oly distance Tri’s for shits’n’giggles (C-Race)

My training focus for 2013 divides the year into quarters, generally in the format of “speed, then endurance, then an A-Race event”.  Need to push to get faster in 2013. I know I can do the distances, now to just do them faster.  Looking forward to some BIG brick workouts leading up to the A-Races in 2013!

Happy New Year Everyone!
