What data on myself I collect and why (2020)
I got heavy into tracking personal data after spending a week in a cardiac unit in July 2017. My own tracking efforts have lead me to the absolute best physical shape I have ever been in.<p>My weight went from 340 pounds (hence the cardiac unit) to 160. I have gotten into ultramarathons and lately, triathlons. Strength wise, I managed to drop 180 pounds while increasing my strength.<p>It is amazing what the mind can do if you prime it with the right kinds of metrics.
