Extreme Veteran  801   Ballston Spa, NY |  Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014Originally posted by tb1000 I'm strongly considering this. Might have to be a very low volume running week for me if I do it. DO IT! I was thinking the same thing until I saw my coach set me up for a brick after doing Rubber Glove! Holy crap I'm going to die.... |

Veteran 361 Colorful Colorado | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 Originally posted by jonD81 I'm in. As dumb as that may be. For those interested, here is the schedule for the Tour. I got winded just reading and thinking about it. 1/25 - Rubber Glove (60 mins... including an FTP test) 1/26 - It seemed like a good idea at the time (2 hours, never done this one before) 1/27 - Revolver (45 mins, mostly high intervals) 1/28 - Hell Hath No Fury (75 minutes) 1/29 - Extra shot + The Wretched (20 + 48 minutes) 1/30 - A very dark place (51 minutes, one of my favs) 1/31 - Angels + The Hunted (Sweet Jebus, that's 2+ hours of hell) 2/1 - Blender (1 hr 45 mins) 2/2 - Violator (68 minutes) If I can make it past the Angels/Hunted day I'd consider it a success. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlwnbcxBuzI |

I don't own or plan on buying any of the videos. Same here. I do plan on watching the first half of Season 4 of Walking Dead and probably the new Batman trilogy to pass some of the time. All stuff I've seen before but can provide good background noise. |

| 1660 | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 I'm not doing the Tour, but I have done a lot of their vidoes, at full TrainerRoad power.
I will be very impressed with anyone who doesn't sandbag the FTP test, but can do the entire tour at full power. Those are some really, really hard rides.
I would be willing to bet that the day 2 ISLAGIATT ride will be unfinishable for over 85% of the people who try it if they do it at full TrainerRoad 100% power on a nonsandbagged FTP test. |

| 297 Arden, North Carolina | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 I'm considering jumping in as well. I wrote in another thread about a calf injury from last night, and I'm thinking that maybe this will help keep well worn out, and keep me from wanting to jump back into running till it's over. We'll see, still have a few days to decide. Edited by TriDadinAsheville 2014-01-22 10:25 AM |

I fully expect massive suckage, but I don't plan on mailing the FTP test in. If I can't keep up with the #'s I'll just do as good as I can. The way I look at it, hitting 100% of the power numbers the entire time is pretty much impossible, at least for me. The rides ask too much of you over 9 days in a row, just the test alone should leave you not wanting to ride the next day. I plan to do what I can even if it means breaking down and not hitting every interval, then so be it. |

I agree with this. there is no way anyone has their FTP set correctly and can do all days at 100%. Day 2 isn't going to be too bad since you can recovery easily from a single 20 minute effort. Day 4 will expose the true Sufferlandrians. |

All stuff I've seen before but can provide good background noise. I've done a few of the TrainerRoad Sufferfest workouts, but when I added the videos to the workouts, it was MUCH, MUCH harder. The video has you doing attacks, attempts at gapping, breakaways, etc. that TrainerRoad does not add. I'm not doing the ToS, but I have been doing some of the longer workouts (Isla Giatt and Local Hero) on TrainerRoad (like I said, with video) and my legs are wrecked...absolutely wrecked. Good luck to those of you that attempt this madness! |

Extreme Veteran 801 Ballston Spa, NY | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 Anyone plan on playing the timezone game or doing it legit? A ride every 24 hours. I plan on doing every 24 hours but can see how the time zone game can be very appealing! I did see where they changed the rules about the doubles for this year. Last year you could break them apart. This year it's back to back. Could be very interesting! Countdown is on... |

This year it's back to back. Could be very interesting! Countdown is on... Angels and The Hunted back to back is going to be nearly impossible to maintain 100%. I crashed and burned on the final sprint in The Hunted last time, and that was without Angels proceeding it. What's the time zone game anyway? |

Technically you can do the scheduled rides at any time during that "day". From TR *Each tour day is active while it's that day anywhere in the world. It starts at 12am Kiritimati time (UTC+14) and ends at 12 midnight American Samoa time (UTC-11). This makes each tour day last 50 hours and days overlap. Local time is irrelevant. Rides must be completed and uploaded to our servers during this 50 hour window to be eligible to win prizes. |

Veteran 361 Colorful Colorado | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 I plan on doing mine in the evening or late afternoon every day. Runs will be in the AM -- I plan to at least continue easy aerobic runs each day and the occasional easier swim. I've been focused on running since Oct with just a few rides/week, so I'm really excited about this getting my bike fitness started for Spring races. |

New user 69 Nashville, TN | Subject: RE: Official Tour Of Sufferlandria Thread 2014 I'm playing the timezone game... I have a work trip Sunday through Tuesday, so in order to fit in Monday's stage I'll be doing Sat - Mon stages on Kirimati time, and then I'll pick the tour back up in US Central time on Tuesday night when I get back.

And get your mind out of the gutter when you see the number. It's my local tri club membership number.  If you haven't seen this yet you can give yourself whatever number you want. https://www.dropbox.com/s/4dymav0cpzpxjud/ToS%202014%20Race%20Number...
