Some comments on these numbers:
- Running: Not a single time on a treadmill this year. Taking up orienteering motivated me even more to not only go outside, but also cross-country.
- Cycling: Following my plan from last year, I tried to increase the amount of cycling outdoors. I added some longer rides which can now be clearly seen by the increased amount of kilometers I did this year. At the same time I’m still trying to use my Tacx Bushido to cover the snowless winters here in Finland.
- Swimming: Fail fail fail – I had big plans, but nothing materialized – simply no words for that…
- Skiing: The lack of snow from last (and this) winter season didn’t really allow me to go skiing much.
Thanks to a lot of cycling and more frequent running I managed to increase my average number of exercising per week to a 2.27 activities/week and a total of 118 activities. I’m fairly happy with that and will try to keep on rolling…
Races
Last year’s race schedule was very similar to the one from 2013. When I was asked to participate the Jukola relay, I decided to take this opportunity and skip the Summer Run instead. Looking back it was a great experience and who knows when I’ll be doing something similar again… Unfortunately I missed the Midnightrun, but I will definitely have it on my schedule again this year.
Other than that I’m extremely pleased with my results. I’m especially happy to see that I managed to keep improving my half-marathon times…

Travelling
In Numbers: 20 flights / 20’902km/ 39h 28min
In terms of traveling, 2014 was a fairly quiet year. This has mainly to do with me changing position with the company which nowadays includes less traveling. As a result the only business trip I made in 2014 was to Intergeo in Berlin. Let’s see what 2015 will bring…
