Reflections on the 2024 Tour

You might be interested in these Blender threads. After all, misery loves company.

Blender is hard

The Mini Blender almost killed me. Do I even dare to look at the other ones.

Blender first time

First attempt, needed a couple of breathers, but otherwise not too bad. [IMG_0069] Second attempt ……… and promptly brought crashing back down to earth! A recent half monty saw a big jump in my numbers from a previous FF. Bailed on the first set of pain shakes and skipped the rest completely. Welcome to the Sufferfest!

Or my statement after the first stage

The Wahooligan Tour Stage 1 - Official Race Thread

I have done Blender five times. Each time in my training diary it has been rated at a RPE of 9 or 10, feeling lousy after finishing it. Every time, but one I have reached PB, or second to PB in various HR or power categories except once. That time, in a previous TOS, I did it at a reduced rate, but still had a RPE of 10.
