Workout Summary 2018 + 2019 Goals.

January1

For 2018, I did a total of ~404 hours of tracked workouts. I worked out 267 days out of 365 days in some form. This was a good year for working out and I smashed my old record of 265 days.

It would have been even higher but in December I got a cold for ~4 days and then the cough lingered for 3 weeks (plus 15 days travel). I will admit it has also been hard to figure out how to do the workouts I want to do while working full time and make sure I have a ton of time with my family. I’ll figure it out :).

Fun stats:

  • I rode 1,524.7 miles this year on my bikes.
  • In July I did 660 miles on my Burgundy bike trip in France. That was over 16 days and boy was my butt sore from all the riding.
  • I set a new personal record for my longest bike ride at 73 miles.
  • I hiked/walked 342 miles in 2019. Way less than the 741 miles in 2017 but I replaced a lot of that with biking. Calico doesn’t do as many stroller rides too.
  • I ascended ~60,000 feet while biking and 35,000 feet while walking/hiking.
  • Last year I did 68 strength training/rehab sessions, this year I managed 152. My back feels awesome, and as long as I keep these up and keep learning I am hopeful I can start some lite trail running at some point…

  • What are my workout goals for 2019?
    I want to keep my back happy and stay in good enough bike shape to do a ton of mountain biking this spring/summer.

    1. Keep doing my strength training / rehab 3x a week to keep my back healthy and get stronger to prevent future injury.

    2. Ride my bike 3x a week to stay in good enough shape to do the longer fun rides. I’ve got a specific plan but that is my minimum goal.

    3. Do a small bike tour in Valencia along the El Cid route this spring.

    4. Ride my mountain bike a ton this summer. I am excited to be home this summer, and hopefully, Lucas and I can go on a bunch of rides. Slightly dependent on work.

    5. Do one solo adventure hike a month (1 to 4 hours). I miss these and wanted to add them back. Good for thinking.

    This is bwb’s personal blog, so he can share his thoughts with the world, however scary or silly they might be. Plus family and friends can track what I am up to, and where I am in the world.

    I am pretty simple. I love Mangos. I love the ocean (although mostly at sunset, as I’m a ginger). I love to travel, eat exotic food, do long bike rides, read, and use my imagination. At some point, I decided it was better to be a pirate captain than an admiral. I am a globalist and see the entire world as my responsibility and playground. And I am married to an amazing woman who makes life even more fun :)! And we are now the proud parents of Calico Jack :).
