How would you answer this question? Too many to list probably, but yesterday during The Chores, I was reminded about all of the chores still waiting for me after my ride (I’m looking at you, laundry). But another 40 second effort came up and I pushed that to the back of my mind. First things first.
…it’s the next morning after [insert horrible workout here], everything hurts, and you have [insert another horrible workout] on tap for the day.
…hearing “release your arms and legs and lie back in final resting pose” is the happiest moment of your day.

And you happlily look forward to such Suffering that when you AREN’T on a training plan, you build such for yourself.
The playlist I listen to while washing dishes or running errands are all songs I took from Sufferfest workouts.
When it’s a lovely day outside but you can’t resist staying in and taking a beating on the trainer.
When you love the Cols on open 30 ( and others) so much you spend a whole week finding a weather window to cycle some - col de cayolle, col des champs and col d’allos. Cold, wet at times but beautiful 10 hour challenge. (Yes I am very slow uphill - 62 year old female!!)
Wow sounds epic and amazing!!! Well done!
When you look at your training plan for days you can tack on a second ride.
When you get yourself through a challenging yoga class by muttering, “The uncomfortable have nothing to fear.”
When you cry tears of joy after completing a tough SYSTM ride
When somebody mentions the Tour and your first thought is “of Sufferlandria”.
May need to try that one.
Extra hearts for you, @Sir_Brian_M .
This is rapidly becoming my favourite thread.
But @DarrenWCKam report to flogging station 16. You clearly weren’t riding hard enough if those weren’t tears of Royale Paine!
The very definition of “me-time”!
Would I be able pop the proverbial ChamPagne after I am done with flogging station #16?
I know another, you know you’re a Sufferlandrian when you see donuts and you say, no, never, no-oh-oh-oh, nein
Absolutely
You know that 16/15 is more than 1 1/15th.
When you actually understand the 50 hour day and the sufferlandrian time warp
