2012 Week 30

Week 30 (w/e 29 July 2012)

Miles: 166.4

Another great week. By the end of play on Sunday evening I was only 0.9 of a mile off matching my best score of the year so far. By that time I'd already done several more miles than I intended in the darkness anyway and I'd had enough. Otherwise I would have jumped back on the bike for another mile to get the record.

The stats:
Time taken to get 100: 6 hrs 31 m.
Total for 2012: 3752.5
2012 average weekly mileage: 125.08
Consecutive 100s: 29
Miles needed for 6000: 2247.5
Percentage of target reached: 62.54%
With 22 weeks to go, average weekly miles needed for 6000: 102.16

A very slow time to get to 100 miles this week, but I was on litter picking duty for most of the days, as I'll reveal tomorrow. The second 150+ week on the trot sets a new high in the weekly average. I also chopped another chunk off the average miles needed from now until the end of the year to achieve the goal of 6000 miles: 2.79 miles this week. Actually, if I hit the target of 148 miles in the next week I'll get that average below the psychologically important 100 miles mark. Now there's something to aim for.
