Here are my previous thoughts about that plan.
Love your optimism ![]()
Legs hurt more than they did, but not as much as they’re going to
Day 4 Giro d’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 that’s about 28% of TSS for the 14 days completed.
Slight trepidation for Hammer Climb tomorrow

…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.
I’d like to have a chat with the idiot who thought this was a good idea, but apparently he’s not available until 10/12 ![]()
You’d have to go back and do Days 1-4 again though so…
That’s where you’re potentially mistaken. I can just head to the reality where I said ‘nope’ and tried out that couchlandrian training plan instead
Hahaha. Sure…maybe…but I think the minions would mess with that reality and you’d be doing it all over again, and again…
That’s just mean
This is amazing! Very sufferlandrian of you.
Do you then get the Ground Hog Day badge?
I’m pretty sure there’s a way to find out ![]()
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, I’m not doing FF this afternoon ![]()
Now back on the bus and heading to Ventoux tomorrow

Thanks for the advice on higher cadence. Definitely helped ![]()
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.
isn’t officially halfway really 70% of the way like in a Knighthood or is it cuz you’re doing this as a Tour halfway is actually halfway? Also, this is an out and back tour right
?
Out and back?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Errr, nope
Just checking. ![]()
I’ll get the team car ready to pick you up at the finish then ![]()
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 didn’t deserve the 3rd place ![]()
Have struggled on the final sprint previously but just hung on with fresh legs so wasn’t surprised
