Last week I had several ephinay moment about triathlons and racing. On a train ride back home as I was wondering that I consistently work 60+hr/weeks , I did the calculation of how many hours of training does the average triathlete do in a year.
So lets say you are doing an IM , you will hit at avg of 10-15 hr /week, peaking at maybe closer to 25hr a week. That is roughly 21-32 days of training in a year , not counting days/weeks off. Now roughly 1/3 of that time (possibly more) is spent on the bike, a average biker produces 250+ watts on the bike that is roughly 34.6 Megawatt(hrs) of power. That is enough power that a small biking club (15-20) people can power a small apt.
This year at the end of the year I am going to total up my figures of total of each sport and reflect on them.
All this almost makes me wonder if I didn’t do this what would I do with all the spare time I have. hmmm.
