2024 #Strava #YearInSport

If you've been following along on this blog for awhile, you may remember that I have been sharing my Strava YearInSport stats over the past couple of years.

I pay more attention to my cycling goals and totals on Strava, but the YearInSport stats cover all activities.

Sort of interesting to me. Not sure if any blog readers care, but I'll share regardless. To be honest, this just helps me compare year-to-year how I do.

I logged a total of 796 hours of activity in 2024. This is up from 777 in 2023
I covered 8,744 miles and 424,259 feet of elevation. Both up significantly over 2023
Strava called me "active" 343 days, which is up from 336 over 2023.

Of course, most of these activities are from cycling ...

I also logged activities from Walking, Hiking, Kayaking, Paddle Boarding, General Workouts, and even Pickle Ball.

343 active days put me in the top 1% of Strava athletes. I'm not sure some of my "walks" should really count of an "active day", but whatever ...

There were several months that I logged some sort of Strava activity every single day.

Unsurprisingly, September was the month in which I logged the most hours. September, was of course the month I cycled 1200 miles from the Great Cycle Challenge.

Apparently, I went on an 81 day streak of active days between July 22 and October 10. 

Apparently, I was "Local Legend" 63 times over the year.

Strava claims that I was most active on Tuesdays, and the most active time was 11am to 12pm. 

I'm not 100% sure I believe either of those stats, but I don't really have a good way to dispute that without doing a lot more analysis than is worth the effort.

Strava says I was in Denver, Colorado most for my activities. 

#3 doesn't make much sense to me. I did visit the Elizabeth, Illinois area a couple of times over the summer, but I don't see how it is possible I was there more than either Chatfield or Breckenridge.

Again, I'm not sure it's worth disputing Strava on this one.

There is a Strava segment I road 304 times in 2024. It certainly makes sense that this is my most ridden segment, but 304 efforts seems excessive. 

Strava says my friend "Brian" gave me the most kudos over the course of the year. I suspect that I show up at or near the top of his list as well.

It is always interesting to see what Strava will include in their YearInSport analysis.
