Eeeexactly. You update AFTER the tour. 
Though I strongly suggest you give yourself a week or two post-Tour before doong the HM/FF prep week. Give yourself a little recovery.

So glad to have you joining us Dame Britt!! Good state of mind to be in, focusing on your own health and well-being, but remember to give yourself âspaceâ. Some days youâre going to feel awesome and other days will probably be a huge emotional battle. Give what you can and know you have an entire nation holding you close and lifting you up!!

No Suf face to share but my quick ride report: leaving only 14 hours between stages 1 & 2 wasnât ideal, but the legs seem to be able to grind out threshold work pretty wellâŠ
Who else is going to spend the next 24 hours visualizing dropping tough guy @Coach.Neal.H on Rabbit Mountain tomorrow? We know youâve got a whole case of Real Pagne in your wine cellar, so why are you afraid to break it out sir?

@Dame_Britt you are not alone! I helped my mom, a PD sufferer, move into assisted living a month ago. Itâs hard. She is my best example of playing the hand youâre dealt without complaints or excuses. She has worked so hard to stay physically fit, and even in her dementia and decline can still do 45-second planks and wall sits! I ride for her, and because I want to be like her.
Great work jumping into the Tour. And all the best in your care for your mom.

Stage 2 done and dusted. Iâve always loved this workout - itâs definitely a solid effort, but I always described it as ârestorative sufferingâ; gives you a glimpse of the âsuffer busâ without getting you in there too deep. But after yesterdayâs double, today was a bit of a different story. Legs definitely feeling a bit sluggish and I absolutely did not appreciate ALL. THE. STANDING. Uggghhhh⊠Dug deep, hung on for dear life, and managed to make it through.

I love Attacker. enough that it doesnât really feel like suffering. I generally load it up by 5% at least because the inspiration from the video and seeing Alaphilippe overtake at the end carries me through the final interval far too easily. Today I was on the verge of retching at the end, so I clearly paced it about right 
I had thought that tomorrow was the UCI Road session, rather disappointed to find that itâs not the case. I liked that one too - itâs kind of like an Attacker in super-slow motion. Instead of a 6-minute build-up, it takes 30 minutes or something like that. Oh well, Iâll just have to trudge through the rest of the week and keep looking forward to Friday.

ÂĄALLEZ, JUJU, ALLEZ!
As 4DP switched me to an Attacker this year, I suppose I have to like Attacker by default. So yeah â 
Attacker! How can I love Attacker, yet hate Defender? Lifeâs just full of mysteries, I guess. 
tWiT stage 2âŠAâŠcompleted. Attacker is a great ride, and a fitting HALF of a stage, but by itself? 
(For those new to these here parts, the 2021 ToS Stage 7 was Defender AND Attacker.)
Three attackers for half of a good ToS stage + one pavĂ©âŠfor JuJu.

Attacker is done! Such a good workout. Iâm questioning whether Iâll finish it at the end of the first one minute âattackâ, but the recovery is just enough to get into the rhythm for the remaining four intervals.

@CPT_A You will feel like you are in Sufferlandria. Rabbit Mountain is a spicy workout - 4 x 10 with different progressions for the blocks.

Well, this will be my 3rd time up RM. Itâs definitely a good workout for a tour event â to be expected from coach Neal â but itâs no Sufferlandria. No music, no wit, no bad jokes, no goatsâŠ

Survived another stage. Forgot about all the standing and the way stage 2 legs feel. Thought the standing would get te best of me in the 3rd interval. Somehow found new legs in 4 and 5.
Tour face, day 2 be like:

No rabbits either! 
Must admit I put on a fave Suf playlist to give it that extra zip, not loud enough to drown out Sir Neal mind youâŠ
