If it is of any encouragement here is a plot of my progress to 1000 points:
Once I saw a reasonable total accumulating, my thoughts turned to the magic 1000.
At age 61 in 2008 I was working to 50 points annually, already plotting multiple RRtY completions. Then, in 2009 I played a Trikie blinder with 103 trike points with a 127 point year total at age 62. Now on 572 points, my RRtY ambitions enabled my totals to creep up:
630 at 63; 695 at 64; 748 at 65; 804 at 66; 865 at 67; 947 at 68 and hitting 1000 at 69 during 2016. Undiminished, I have continued to 1090 at 70; 1163 at 71; 1213 at 72 and closing the 2020 season on 1253 at 73.
I think my secret has been to set targets within each year. My ambitions lie within RRtY, which obviously sees my points totals creeping upward. To be open, I have no ambitions to reach 2000, age will see to that. In previous years I have achieved SRs (last in 2018), PBP or LEL but even these may be beyond me as I slow down.
