Some comments on these numbers:
- Running: According to my activity log, the average distance per run has increased quite a lot. This is not surprising, as last year I spent a lot of time on the treadmill (where I rarely run farther than 10kms). Additionally I had more races on my schedule, which motivated me to focus more towards half-marathons.
- Cycling: As a clear result from buying the Tacx Bushido last year, which allows me to train indoors, my general mileage increased quite a bit. I enjoy cycling in Finland, exploring the countryside at the same time, and will probably do more of that next summer.
- Swimming: I have no words for that, just plain embarrassing. Although I really enjoy being in the pool, I rarely can mobilize myself to go for a swim. At some point the plan was to go at least once a week – I clearly failed that target.
- Skiing: Yep, living in Finland is great :-) 2013 started with a lot of skiing already in the first few months, while this year’s snowfall is still to be seen.
Generally my average number of exercising per week dropped to 1.94 activities/week (a total of 101 activities). Obviously I’ll try to improve on that in this year.
Races
Starting with a very optimistic race schedule, this year resulted in more competitions than last year. I skipped some races for several reasons (injuries, sold-out races, …) but am very happy with the results of this year’s competitions.

2013 was equally busy as the year before. I had the same number of flights and even the distance travelled increased only a “tiny” bit. While doing most of the traveling I had the opportunity to visit some new countries and I’m sure that more will come this year…
