If I add up miles and feet of elevation for all hikes, excluding regular runs and exercise, but including the Jay XC marathon and the two MRG snowshoe races, I get the following:Total Miles: 771
Feet of Elevation: 260k
I started the clock with the Osceolas hike w/ Treadmill back in early Feb 2006 (followed by the 2006 Bad Boy). So this plot excludes all the presi-traverses I've done and all earlier hiking. I didn't feel like going back to 2005 when my record-keeping was spottier.
This also excludes about 600 miles and thousands of vertical feet of biking, kayaking,
downhill/backcountry/xc skiing, marathons and other races and is basically just backpack hiking. One day I may go back further, but it's not likely at this point.Check out these two graphs. The XY plot is interesting but the three colored lines are just for fun and I don't think the three lines mean anything. The data seem to group naturally into three 'types' - but I think that has more to do with the hikes I like and the tendency to see patterns where there are none.
Impressive. That's a lot of time being up and getting after it. We're changing your nickname to "High-a-mutha" (ala Hiawatha except without the enslavement or rape.)
ReplyDeleteI happened upon my 4K footer t-shirt last night which claims 215K ft over the 48 high peaks. I want to do them all again to test this claim.
