Week 18 summary + Day 1 and 2 of Tour of Sufferlandria

915 TSS on 9.83 hours of training

I took the running a little easier this week, partly because it was was really really cold outside in the mornings (close to -20C with wind chill) and partly because the Tour of Sufferlandria (ToS) was starting up (the most prestigious virtual tour of an imaginary country EVER!).

The first two stages of the tour have gone pretty well, I'm using my Computrainer in erg mode, which means that the trainer sets my resistance according to the whims of the video's author. They tend to be in the range of 50-140% of my FTP. I'm scaling the first few days to 90%, then the middle to 95%, and going the last two stages at 100%.

Swimming is coming along well, I'm pleased (which probably means I need to raise my standards). After this week of the bike volume bump, I need to start getting some more race pace sets into my long runs. There's two weeks until the Fridge, that'll be, er, "instructive", as to how things actually are.
