I really like both of these workouts.
But together? Not so much.

My mistake - DEFENDER then ATTACKER, but yeah, that was a @#$% of a finish that year. Also Norway’s debut. Good times.

Yup, and so don’t let anyone sway you in your plans aspiring Knight @RitzMan.
Nevertheless, ending the day with Defender like both Sir Evan @emacdoug and myself is really the best thing in the world. 
So dang true Sir! Hahaha. It’s the last 2 efforts which really is the killer, in the ultimate SUF way.

Hey @RitzMan, if you get a chance can you update your list so I can prepare my level of mocking and jeering appropriately?
Edit: That is if you’ve landed on a final decision.

Sir @CPT_A, you honor me with your gallant donation. Thank you!
Sir @Glen.Coutts, your wretched assurance on my plan to bookend my quest with rides you detest is much appreciated. Looking at your 
emoji reminds me that my brother promised to double his donation if I puked. Naturally, I plan to finish strong, but we’ll see …!
Sir @emacdoug, you successfully messed with my head. But it caused me to come to my own truth, in a very unexpected way.
As I sweated and ground my way through the three 5-minute blocks in Primers in this morning’s 30C (86F) heat, I asked myself the question “Is this what you want to be doing at the end of your quest?”
The answer came back in a bit of a growl from somewhere deep inside “Are you feeling weak? Do you want to do something … easier?”
Holy lava fields, Batman! I think I channeled Gunther von Agony himself! What is one going to say in such a moment except “No sir! Defender it is!”

Starting and finishing on my 2 favourite rides! Solid (and also got me thinking…).
You’ll kill it.

The battlefield is so peaceful tonight.
The recovery station too.
My fueling plan is on the aggressive side. Easy enough to scale it back if needed or to swap in whole foods.
Time for a bit of shut eye before the fun begins … zzzzz

Looks like you’ve got everything sorted and ready to roll in the morning.
Good luck sleeping well. I struggled a bit the night before due to the building excitement or was it the impending sense of doom?
Either way, best of luck tomorrow, looking forward to watching the show and joining the welcoming committee at the castle gates 
You’ve got this!
