My God, I feel like this month has gone on forever…but Sir Evan just keeps on peddling.

My God, I feel like this month has gone on forever…but Sir Evan just keeps on peddling.

“Recovery” day today. Did Omniums 35 & 36. First at 75%. Second at 77%.
Legs were not fully recovered from yesterday or the weekend. And those AC efforts are still a beast on tired legs at those levels.
Only one on tap for tomorrow. How hard i ride will be a game time decision. Because I have to get up extra early to make it to the dentist for my annual visit right after.
A day behind again on this post.
Omnium #37 - Legs were so tired and mind so tired and unmotivated that I could barely turn the pedals to start the warm up at Z1. Didn’t help I had to get up earlier than usual for my dentist appt immediately after. Had to turn it down as far as my Sufferlandrian mind would allow me.
Tomorrow (er, today) is another day.
It’s pretty SUFFING impressive that you’ve got any motivation at all to get after this exercise in poor judgment!
Today I rode Omniums 38 & 39. Legs felt a bit better than yesterday. A little more livelier. But not a lot. Still was able to ride the second one a bit higher intensity than the first. Hopefully that bodes well for Saturday’s final multiple 3x Omnium day during the Knight Ride.
Amazing job of keeping this going for so long Sir Evan. End is now nearly in sight, although the end is looking pretty horrible ![]()
My final multi-Omnium day of the month! Omniums #40, 41, and 42! First warmed up my legs at 70%. Then did the final two at 80%. Finished it off with a long recovery spin at a nice slow embarrassing pace.
Was another great Knight Ride! The excellent company really helps enjoyably pass the time and helps makes the suffering more, well, enjoyable. ![]()
The Omniummerang nears completion and the rest of us are in awe
Omnium #43 completed at 100%. I wasn’t feeling my best, but felt surprisingly better than I expected based on my previous Monday mornings.
And now… only number 44 remains. My final Omnium remains for tomorrow morning.
If you don’t mind, I’ll be looking the other way! Lol

The Omnium #44/44.
DONE
Completed at 101%. Just because… why not. The end of suffering.
FINALLY
That was brutal. Not just doing it at 100%, or even doing it 2 days in a row. That was one of the hardest months ever. Not even my month of Defender was harder. The AC bits were agony even when doing them at 70% on “recovery days”.
I’m so glad this over. SOOO glad. I can’t even describe.
After today’s session I showered and then posted my updates… during which my legs were still quivering. It wasn’t the 101% intensity that did it. It was the month-long weariness plus the back-to-back 100% days. And probably some relief.
Thankfully I’ve had my compression socks on and my legs are recovering. And I’ve had extra coffee and a protein shake. Which reminds me, I forgot my orange juice and vitamins and probiotics, so I better go get those right after I finish this. And then probably have a protein superfood smoothie for lunch. And then some more protein to wash it down. With some more caffeine.
And then another Lie Down. ![]()
Good grief! Your fitness must be off the charts! Congrats on another epic adventure in dumb ideas.
What’s next?
Also, WOW!
I’m sure my fitness will still be well within the charts.
But I’ll be giving myself a bit of recovery before deciding when to inflict more suffering on myself with FF or HM or see just where on the charts I fall.
