I guess you can say when it comes to training, I am a minimalist--I look at the longest event and try to train for it by getting the most I can out of the fewest hours per week. I don't really have time for 75 mile rides, 2 hour runs, and 3-4 hour bricks. Had I trained like that, I would have set my racing goals on longer events.
For 2010 I am going to try to note the amount of cumulative miles running and cycling. Not sure I will be able to stay on top of that, but I'll try. Also, I am going to train with the same amount of hours, but I will structure them differently--fewer sessions, but a little longer on the weekends as I am targeting the Chisago Half Iron. I will have to make time for long weekend bricks....

I'm impressed with the results vs. what you put in. You're obviously doing something right. The "new" room looks great too.

The secret is no junk miles and only one 'hard' ride(TT or interval) and one hard run per week. Its not really a secret, but most people want to go all-out during almost all workouts.
