SBR March Totals

So far in March, I've biked 150 miles, ran 12.5 miles, and swam 3.5 miles. I noticed an interesting relationship among my swim, bike and run mileages:

Let
S = Swim mileage
R = Run mileage
B = Bike mileage

then...

S = S = 3.5 miles
R =~ S^2 = (3.5)*(3.5) = 12.25 miles
B =~ S^4 = (3.5)*(3.5)*(3.5)*(3.5) = 150.06 miles

Basically, if you square my swim distance, you get my run distance. If you take my swim distance to the power of 4 (or run distance squared), you get my bike distance.
The bike distances are so close (only .06 miles apart, or 4 hundredths (.04 %) of a percent different), its scary.
Too bad tomorrow's run/swim workout will throw this whole relationship out the window...

This is why I still think you're a loser.

Wow. It's one of many reasons for me, but I agree with whoever posted the comment before mine.
