    With all the deadlift and squats I likely lost 1/2 inch.

    In all seriousness great job! Had to be a beautiful year.

    Only 119,060ft in 5,032 miles of cycling. Most elevation gain in a day 8,343ft.

    Where I live is hilly rather than mountain-y. Plus I'm a rubbish climber!

    Elevation gain was not part of my goals, but nevertheless, I ended up with 58,991 metres (193,540.03 feet) of climbing according to Strava. Unfortunately, I didn't record 2 or 3 rides, so the actual total was slightly higher than that.

    Not too bad for a lady who seeks out flat rides. Around here, I can't leave my house without cycling, walking, or running elevation.

    162,996 ft. Hoping to top that this year since I’m hoping to not miss 5+ months of running due to injury.

    I don't have a way of tracking overall gain. The logging site I use the most (Running Ahead) doesn't track it at all, and Garmin doesn't do cumulative elevation numbers. That's something I'd like to track, but I don't care enough to add a spreadsheet to all my other exercise logs.

    go to your Garmin Connect web site and go to reports. then select Progress Summary. You can see your total elevation there.

    36,820 from Garmin and another 11,150 from fitbit. I only go to 1 park that has any real hills and the total elevation is only about 500 ft., and I only go there on the weekends.

    Cool. I've never seen that report. Garmin gives me 71,333' for 2017. That doesn't include hiking or TM, but it's fun to see the totals.

    Maybe 50 feet because of a few times I forgot and left the Garmin on while carrying the rowing shell from the river up to the boathouse? ;) Otherwise, rowing yields the most boring elevation graph ever.

    I track it in Strava.

    I wish I could track this on my neighborhood hikes!

    @NorthCascades I'd never thought about elevation gain other than the mountain kicking my butt every hike, but over the year much to my amazement I tallied a minimum 168,957 feet. Mapmyhike doesn't give totals for elevation, just distance, pace, duration, calories and steps. So I had to manually add (OMG!) all the elevation gains for each hike. Anyway, I'm pleased with my year and hope to increase it this year. Maybe 200,000 unless the snow keeps up then I'll be downhill skiing more than hiking/snowshoeing.
