**The Wahooligan Tour STAGE 3** - _Tuesday February 25_ Time to bring the heat, Stage 3 is spicy šŸŒ¶ Imagine youā€™re out on a group ride where the tempo is high, youā€™re putting the hammer down, and suddenly, someone surges. Stage 3: Who Dares will help you catch the wheel in front of you and settle back into the tempo. **[DONATE NOW](https://secure2.convio.net/dpf/site/Donation2?idb=338483399&df_id=1921&FR_ID=1391&mfc_pref=T&PROXY_ID=1391&PROXY_TYPE=21&1921.donation=form1)** ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thesufferfest/original/3X/5/9/596cfff7c283b424e0d2df5da2f5aaae3e4e94d5.jpeg) **[Sufferfest: Who Dares](https://systm.wahoofitness.com/content-details/3rLnRlTdQ3)** _Who Dares is a workout that teaches your body to recover from those efforts more effectively so you can keep riding hard. The workout is based on three 9.5-minute, sub-FTP intervals that feature three sprints: one at the start, one in the middle, and one at the end. These sprints flood your body with metabolites like lactate, then the sustained sub-FTP efforts force your body to clear them out while still working hard._ _To make the session even more effective, Who Dares also asks your body to do this work at different cadences, stimulating the nervous system and forcing your body to become even more efficient._ ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thesufferfest/original/3X/4/a/4a43b584c197db350005b608aa72faba86ea2798.png) Remember, you have 50 hours to complete each stage. As long as itā€™s still todayā€™s date anywhere on earth, youā€™re golden.

The final of Who Dares used to be my favourite moment in the whole Sufferlandria. Never before had I laughed while hitting maximum heart rate. To lessen the sorrow caused by desuffing this time I turned it into a novid. Two days, three stages done, four to go. Wish I could say as Coryn Rivera did (for real) after crossing the finish line: ā€œAs a sprinter you always have a little bit of a bullet left.ā€ ---

Stage 3 done. I really missed ā€œWhat? Us three off the front again?ā€ or something along those lines at the start of Who Dares.

The new Who Dares. I hadnā€™t ridden the remastered version until now. On the plus side: the workout is as challenging as ever, and the video works well with the efforts. I love being pulled to the line by my hero, Kasia Niewiadoma, and seeing her moved to tears by my victory. On the meh side: the content team really needs to study the Sufferfest oeuvre more closely. Just throwing around the word ā€œassā€ a bunch doesnā€™t make it Sufferlandrian. Itā€™s the particular blend of motivating but silly storyline, tough love, SUF dad jokes, and real pride expressed through cheesy mythical patriotism that makes these vids worth doing over and over and over. On the ā€œwhat were they thinkingā€ side: the music?!? It reminds me of the techno-synth I used to hear in every cafe when I lived in Moscow in the twenty-oughts. You canā€™t listen to it, talk over it, or concentrate around it. It forces you to notice it without giving you anything in return. Itā€™s the opposite of motivating. ---

Music is such a personal thing. Thereā€™s some SUF music I can listen to anytime and have on a regular rotation on a music playlist. I donā€™t think Iā€™ve got any from this vid. Re Who Dares: afaik, the music is unchanged. Maybe the reason you notice it so much in the new one, is that it doesnt suit the footage in the same way. imho, it totally works in the original version. In any event, itā€™s music fit for purpose (at least on the Coryn Rivera classic version). ---

I recognized the tracks from the beginning of the workout. But I really thought they had been replaced by shoddy imitations at the end. Maybe Iā€™m just exceptionally irritable today, sandwiched between Wahoo infomercial stages. Maybe I should just shut up and Suffer. ---
