keeping data all in one place

I keep all my data both here on BT and on a custom Excel spreadsheet that I designed and have modified over the years.  Been logging since 2004.

I really don't think the manual data entry here on BT is that tedious and I like the improvements that were made during the last site upgrades. 

It takes me about five minutes to enter my data after I finish a workout; it gives me something to do while I'm cooling down and lets me add comments or notes while things are still fresh in my mind. 

Logging two different places is a bit redundant, but it does give me a backup if something catastrophic would happen to one or the other.  I'd hate to lose ten years of data.

I just manually put all my data here on BT and I have almost 10 years of Data at this point.  I Don't use any devices to up load from.  Its really not that hard to click on add a work out and put in how far you went and how long it took.  Its probably easier than uploading files saving etc.  I am kind of low tech tho.  I fight with technology all day at work and have a fuss factor of about a nanosecond for things that don't work well.  I can have it all inputted by the time the dumb device decides to work for me.

I find great value in having it all on here, esp when I am in a big build for IM because I can go back and look at other years and what I did in prep and where I am comparitively.

I use BT for general logging and keeping track of workout notes.  I find that it works well for general overview stuff considering it's free.  I use WKO+ and Strava (premium) for more detailed power and HR analysis.

I've been lazy with uploading to BT this year since I'm only riding, and Strava takes care of everything I need.

I've totally failed.

I use Daily Mile for the social aspect of logging training.

I use Beginner Triathlete for the comprehensive logs and charts, tracking shoe mileage and such.

I use Strava because... well, do I really need to justify Strava?

I use Golden Cheetah for my power analysis, TSS, CTL, ATL, SB, etc

I use Garmin Connect since it where I've always uploaded my Garmin stuff.

I use MovesCount- 'cause I recently got a Suunto, and I'm finding it a better site than Garmin Connect (except I have such a history over on Garmin, I'm still cross loading workouts)

And then people tell me I should use Training Peaks.  aaaarrrghh!
