Love your optimism :joy:

Legs hurt more than they did, but not as much as theyā€™re going to

Day 4 Giro dā€™Italia Donne 1 is done. The climb on lap 5 hurt a bit, the final 4 min 30 effort a lot more. Post ride sauna was definitely a good idea.

According to my spreadsheet thatā€™s about 28% of TSS for the 14 days completed.

Slight trepidation for Hammer Climb tomorrow

:joy: :rofl: :joy:

ā€¦I mean, 28% you say? Interesting.

Maybe just move everything into the sauna? Save some time.

Day 5 Hammer Climb done. Glad to see the back of this one.

Iā€™d like to have a chat with the idiot who thought this was a good idea, but apparently heā€™s not available until 10/12 :confused:

Youā€™d have to go back and do Days 1-4 again though soā€¦

Thatā€™s where youā€™re potentially mistaken. I can just head to the reality where I said ā€˜nopeā€™ and tried out that couchlandrian training plan instead

Hahaha. Sureā€¦maybeā€¦but I think the minions would mess with that reality and youā€™d be doing it all over again, and againā€¦

Day 6 Strade Bianchi 1 is done. Love this pro ride.

Was expecting to find the first 14 minute climb harder than it was this morning and was grateful for a shorter stage.

Amazingly still at 100%, but no, Iā€™m not doing FF this afternoon :anguished:

Now back on the bus and heading to Ventoux tomorrow :mountain_biking_woman: :grimacing:

Day 7 completed and Mount Ventoux conquered and on my way to Australia for tomorrow.

Officially half way through, although 57% based on saddle time makes me feel closer to the end than I am.

isnā€™t officially halfway really 70% of the way like in a Knighthood or is it cuz youā€™re doing this as a Tour halfway is actually halfway? Also, this is an out and back tour right :smiling_imp:?

Driver got a bit lost this morning and did Tour Down Under 1 rather than 2. All going well until the final sprint when I failed at the last 7 seconds.
Really didnā€™t deserve the 3rd place :man_shrugging:

Have struggled on the final sprint previously but just hung on with fresh legs so wasnā€™t surprised
