I hope it’s not too serious and that everything works out. Be healthy, everything can be solved! May you be able to enjoy a lot of misery in the saddle

Extra shot+ The Wretched
“A SUF classic, this session is not for the (…), or the fatigued of legs…” 
wretched legs.
really hard both the two last sprints, the one in the last hill standing, had to dig really deep, and the last one of the session pufff. I guess I’m heading to a very dark place
Long live to the Sufferfest!
Never!
Wheel suckers are a worst species then

Sorry but I once posted a picture of myself online and was subsequently permanently banned from ever doing that again. Something about making babies cry and animals run in terror. Apparently I was the lone exception to the saying ‘a face only a mother could love’, she couldn’t.

Out of a beautifull Very Dark Place but not so Dark as the Wretched , to me at least.
Done!

The Wretched is one of the most aptly named Sufferfests.

This Sir is a wise man.
I made it through today, but barely. The Hunted went well except at the end of the sprints I could tell my blood sugar was running down. So as soon at they were done i downed 25 carbs split between fast and slow carbs. I did get through at 100%.
But as I started Angels it was clear I was too late getting the carbs on board. I downed another 25 carbs but really struggled through this one. I made it, but it was dialed back and still painful.
I don’t often miss this bad on fuel, but it happens. On to tomorrow and Blender.

This night of interrupted sleep I was visited by some old friends, the wrethced cramps, so it seems that I went to a very dark place yesterday after all.
Angels, weren’t very angelic!
I thought it would be worse tough, after the “crampsy” night but it wasn’t devastating.
Again, I evaluated it too early, because halfway through the Hunted, I literally took the sledgehammer man. (Since English is not my mother tongue, I lack vocabulary and also idiomatic expressions. Sledgerhammer man is an expression that is used in Portugal when we burst at a certain point in the race and from then on it is just surviving:)). Is there this literal expression in English? what expressions do you use? Is there any threath with this theme?
So on the second climb on The Hunted I weakened, but there I held on until the end! SUFFER!! 
Misery! 2 videos.
My bow to all the glorious KoS around here! You are amazing! One day I will get there :))

Stage 8 is done, and I am sufficiently Blended. Oh Goody, all that is left is to be Violated! What fun.

Fun times ahead! Woot woot!
I’m assuming “sledgehammer man” is the same as the Spanish expression: vino el tío del mazo
In English you’d say you’d “bonked”. (To emphasise it you could say “I bonked big time”, for example).

Hi @JimC gracias! no conocia la expression vino el tio de mazo:) i guess that’s it i’ve seen also “getting it by the hammer” wich resembles. Anyway, that was it
Me too, feel blended and drained
Had a birhday dinner the night before, couldn’t properly recover from the bonking in yesterday’s Hunt so today i really had to dig deep and somehow thinking about, humbly tough, honour the Sufferlandrian spirit and pull my self up in the saddle for a Blend. Today was all about the superior triad of the Suf symbol, Pain, Misery, Agony.
In the second plate i couldn’t hold the power and cadence and had do dial down to 80%.
Then in the TT in the end could put it back to 100%. I had no legs for the burts.
Is this allowed in the Tour of Sufferlandria?
I hope to be able to present myself with dignity tomorrow for the final violation.
Can’t bieleve it’s ending!
Thank you Sir director @Critmark and Sir @Glen.Coutts for leading me to this.
