I raced more than usual in 2012.  From June on, I tried to do at least one 30 mile run per month to keep my legs in Ultra shape.  That seemed to help.  I did track workouts whenever they fit my schedule.  Probably half the weeks of the year.

Totals:
Running - 1763
Mtn Biking - 567
Road Biking - 735

Shortly after the Willis River 50k I started having Achilles/ankle issues.  This race was super muddy and I think that played a role in the problem.  From there the problem would heal, I'd do a trail run, roll my ankle injuring it again, and the cycle repeated for a couple months.  It is at 90% today.
