The last math class I took was freshman year of college. I hated math. I bought an Srm and suddenly I love statistics. Five days of hard riding in the first training camp of the year are now in the books. Here are some statistics from that camp.
Total Number of Miles: 340 miles. Distance from D.C. to Pittsburgh, PA: 241 miles
Total Time on the Bike: 20 hours 19 minutes
Number of States Involved: 3-- Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia plus D.C. (Statehood Now)
Number of Civil War battlefields traversed: 4-- South Mountain, Antietam, Loudoun Heights and 2nd Manassas (the outskirts). Total number of American casualties at Antietam: 22,719 (single bloodiest day in American history).
Number of Mountains Climbed: 3-- South Mountain, Skyline Drive and Sugarloaf. Total Elevation Gain: 19,741 feet. Heighest point in the US: Mount McKinley-- 20,320 feet.
Total Calories Burned: 12,420 calories. Calories in a McDonald's Big Mac: 590 calories.
Total Number of Heart Beats: 162,246. My normal resting heart rate: 48 bpm.
Now for a rest day and then back to the normal life.
