Tour of Sufferlandria 2016

My legs are glad the Tour of Sufferlandria 2016 is done! It was an intense 9 days. I've been doing this challenge for the last 3 years and every time I feel like I've climbed Mt Everest! Happily it's a pain you forget and eventually you are looking forward the next TOS.

It started hard with 2 hours in the saddle in ISLAGIATT. I'm not used to 1:30 plus effort on the home trainer.

Then came 2 Revolvers back to back. OMG! I had to lower the ERG mode on the 2nd one down to 90%.

My legs were numb for the next few stages. TGTTOS felt like a relief in comparison to the other ones.

Last 2 stages hit my mental strength as both include 2 videos. My scheduled was tight I was not able to do them back to back as asked so I had to do one in the morning and one in the evening.

For my effort, I rewarded myself with ordering the framed poster of the Tour offered by RedBubble:-)

I used TrainerRoad + The Sufferfest combination to properly suffer.
