Member 32 Michigan | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 I hate you, AVDP. I just hate you. Hit all my numbers, but blew up in the final sprint. I am obsessing about tomorrow. I think I will be ok once that's over. I just don't know how I'll do it. Thank to all of you for listening to me vent....my family is looking at me out of the corner of their eyes and whispering... |

| Member 354 | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 Stage 6 done, I feel way better than I did after stages 4 and 5. While we're all trembling at the thought of Stage 7, I'm also more than a bit worried about Stage 8...Blender is a tough one. |

Thank to all of you for listening to me vent....my family is looking at me out of the corner of their eyes and whispering... I'm with you on Stage 7. Its by far the cruelest day of this whole madness. cornick -- yeah, I don't know wtf any of us are thinking at this, or any, point. Based on the posts here the past day, seems many among us are hitting the wall and questioning our sanity. Somewhere in Singapore, David McQuillan is smiling (he's the founder of The Sufferfest). |

| Master 1946 Memphis, TN | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 Originally posted by mambos Originally posted by jonD81Worked from 7am to 9:30pm today, hauling around a ladder doing surveys for work (Mechanical Engineer). As I left Boston I said if I'm home by 10 then I'll do the rides tonight as I really didn't want to double (Triple with Shot, Wretched AND Dark tomorrow?). My wife was still up, kid passed out hours ago. I said hi to her, went upstairs to change, came down in my bike clothes and she just looked at me and said "You're f^&king crazy" and then she went to bed. Hour and a half later, it's done. I took about 3 minutes between workouts to grab a bottle of water and take stock of my life. Once that got too depressing to think about, I hopped back on and went at it. Wretched was bad. I lost it towards the end. I'm allowing it though because I even surprised myself that I got that ride in. i am now getting the same response, took the kids to bball practice came home and jumped on the trainer. Wife walks in the room, rolls her eyes and calls me an idiot! Of course I mumble some response that is barely human and continue on Just tell her "Not now chief, I'm in the zone" |

Extreme Veteran 933 Connecticut | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 I ran out of time this morning to do the second part of stage 7, despite my intention of doing them back to back. I'll do it this evening. Angels isn't so bad, but the Hunted is a little scary, definitely one of the harder ones. |

Expert 1480 Somewhere in the Swamps of Philly | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 Stage 6 - I freakin hate you. Was clearly looking past AVDP in preparation for the terror that is Stage 7 and I got my @ss kicked. Last couple of sets took me to the brink. Also had to restart this entire workout 7' in as my set up started to go on fritz and I lost power and HR. Just what I needed - extra time in a dark place. |

Veteran 1900 Southampton, Ontario | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 Originally posted by mambos Is it just me or are the simple tasks becoming extremely difficult? I reached to get something off the top of the fridge and my legs gave out, almost fell in the shower and I am not going to talk about the struggles I had getting up and down the stairs at work! It's just a good thing I am in charge and can assign someone else those tasks. Stage 5 is complete though and moving forward. I caught my leg trying to dismount my bike and nearly took the bike and myself over. Crashing on a bike trainer would be a new low for me. |

| 274 | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 I disagree that it is irrelevant. If you signed up and didn't start it then technically you dropped, no matter what the reason. You can separate it into two categories based on # registered and # that started stage 1. |

| Veteran 493 Cloverdale, BC | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 Is anybody actually managing to accomplish the TSS ratings on the videos? So far I'm only at 527 out of 637, or 83%.

| Expert 1480 Somewhere in the Swamps of Philly | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 I'm at 92.7% of the target TSS. Worst TSS performance was Revolver at 77.6%, best was ISLAGIAT at 100%. |

| Master 3195 Just South of Boston | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 Just added mine up and it came out to 596. Also noticed I've set a bunch of new PR's via trainer road during this. Maybe its all worth it in some crazed way.... |

| Member 354 | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 Done through Stage 7, 98.4% of TSS. I'm doing these at 100% of the FTP that Rubber Glove suggested after Stage 1, which is 281. The Trainer Road 20 min test I did two days before the ToS started suggested an FTP of 257, FWIW. |

| Veteran 976 New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 Through stage 6 I'm at 551 TSS. My best IF is 1.03 for Revolver, I guess I really like 1 minute sprints? My worst is ISLAGIATT at 0.82. Somehow I did AVDP night last at 0.97. |

| Veteran 274 State College, PA | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 Rubber Glove: 76/81 ISLAGIATT: 155/160 Revolver: 85/91 HHNF: 104/109 Extra Shot: 34/34 Wretched: 72/74 AVDP: 84/85 Total: 610/634 96% That seems about right. Other than ISLAGIATT I've been keeping the levels at 100% and doing my best to match powers, but have been a bit lot at times. |

| Master 1927 Guilford, CT | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 I hope a couple of you guys that rode this thing full tilt (or as close as you could manage) post a screen shot of your PMC chart from either Golden Cheetah or TrainingPeaks when this is over. I'd love to see what this did to everyone's TSB. edit: Also, great job everyone. That is a lot of TSS everyone is putting up. Did most of you launch from 300/400ish weekly into this thing?

| 274 | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 Stage 6 complete. They named it appropriately. That last interval killed me. Maybe that light jog before the workout was a bad idea. |
