I’ve been a little patchy with my training plan lately but, this morning, I made myself get up early and ride Blender. It ripped my legs off and beat me with the wet ends. A timely, if aggressive, reminder amidst all of this flux and discussion and form-filling that glorious, miserable, suffering is still there. Find a vacant flogging station and get it done! ---

Earlier this week I rode Mini Blender and that was hard enough! Chapeau to you! ---

Very nice! I rode the Sufferlandrian Slingshot “group ride” on Training Peaks Virtual, yesterday. I was sadly the only one to join. So inside the first lap as a long warm up. Then the second lap as an ITT. Finally half of the third lap as a cool down. Was a very effective flogging station. ---

And now that you’ve done _Blender_, I think the next step is _Nine Hammers_. Then _ISLTA_. Then finally _Kitchen Sink_. ---

I have AVDP on the list for tomorrow, so I’ll start there 😀 ---

Doing 1 ITT is bad enough but doing those 3 in Blender are horrific especially as they come right at the end, suffering indeed is glorious ---
