The Sufferfest Memorial KOS Quest August 25

[CPT_A]

@DameCristy

You will crush it!

…again.

[emacdoug]

Primers done.

Why does Primers always seem just a little bit harder than I want/expect?

Now time to fuel up and spend the day resting as much as I can.

#relatable

[pkdaylu]

Definitely relatable! I’m doing primers tomorrow, as it happens, and Full Frontal the next day. A couple of times a year I usually use the all-purpose program and the last week is always Tapers, Recharger, and Primers before FF, so I experience this frequently!

Crush it tomorrow, Sir Evan!

[emacdoug]

When I woke up and came down to my pain cave I found this love note from GVA (created by my wife) taped to my handlebars.

It is time.

KOS #4 - The Sufferfest Memorial KOS Quest begins in 3… 2… 1…

@emacdoug The Openers NoVid is also an alternative - has a bit less spice.

[Glen.Coutts]

Love it!

10 Sufferfest videos back-to-back. Simples.

Oh look, Defender and The Wretched

Also,

[emacdoug]

Ahem. That should be “Sir Sufferlandrian”.

[Glen.Coutts]

Twas a bit colder when i was there last

[emacdoug]

Now into the valley of the Nine Hammers…

With my custom soundtrack, of course…

[Glen.Coutts]

This is taking FOREVER!!!

I might as well go for a bike ride

FWIW, wind from the NW 30 kmh, gusting to 50 kmh. Heading NW, of course, cuz:

[emacdoug]

In Sufferlandria every direction is into a headwind.

[emacdoug]

Now on to Angels.

Nice!

[emacdoug]

#4 - Time to churn. Gotta be as smooth as Butter Boy. Or was I supposed to smother Butter Boy?

[pkdaylu]

@emacdoug

Butter Boy

Notice the other rider in the first set who they don’t actually call “Butter Boy” but it’s obviously him (though not the same IRL cyclist as Butter Boy in the second set)

[emacdoug]

Butter is churned (and so am I). The long incomplete recovery sections gave me plenty of time to question my life choices.

Now on to #5 - Fight C🤫

[emacdoug]

5 down. 5 more to go. Still not halfway.

#6 - The Wretched - pretty much how I feel.

Whose idea was this anyway?

[emacdoug]

Why yes, yes it is.

Dear GVA, please let me make it to #7.

[emacdoug]

That was truly wretched. Very little recovery. Whose idea was this anyway?

Now starting #7 - The Trick - where I trick myself into thinking I’m almost done.

Oh, look! Lava snow and castles!
