I'm not even sure I'll put 13,000 miles on my car this year..
Cycling has now turned into a weekend-only activity for the most part, since it is dark now after work. A pity too since it has been so mild this week.

I would substitute pitied fo humbled. So many of my tri friends are divorced; it is no surprise. My mileage keeps me out of the house for 60 - 80 miles most Saturdays and Sundays, as well as time during the week. To each their own, but 13,000 miles on Zwift, although impressive is also sad.

No, it's not. If that's how someone wants to train, then that's how they train. A smart trainer has completely changed my fitness. Even with the decreased daylight, I'm now able to do meaningful workouts and stay in a good maintenance level for the winter. Sure, I had a standard old dumb trainer for years, but I hated it and rarely used it, so I always found myself in a hole come springtime. Not this year, and not next year.

Another friend who I ride with now has done 14-15k for a few years but I think he's burned out on it. He's 57 and over 200 pounds and did over 800K feet of climbing.
