Coming off recovery week into Disaster is absolute magic. Sadly, my plan doesn’t work out that way this year! ---

Disaster is too much for me at this point, but I’d love to test myself. What could be deemed as the hardest/one of the hardest sweet spot workout? ---

Easy, ride as long as you can at SS 😉 Otherwise, from memory I’d say [Polar Bear +1](https://www.trainerroad.com/app/cycling/workouts/268908-polar-bear-1), but I don’t have the TR library at hand. If you want, in the workout search you could filter by SS intensity and order by highest TSS. You’ll probably find workouts that aren’t purely Sweet Spot though. ---

I’ve scheduled D-2 in for the 12th as well as a replacement for Hunter. It’ll be during the first week of SSB2, so hopefully it doesn’t affect the following week! I plan on starting at 6 a.m. Central time here in the US: [RSVP - TrainerRoad](https://www.trainerroad.com/app/rsvp/aqtsga) ---

I might be willing to hop in and make it in Training Peaks, since we don’t have a native TR one and can’t use custom workouts for outside versions either. I have done a few small workouts, and suspect it wouldn’t be to hard to do. Just take a bit of time. ---

I’m not a Disaster guy this year - I got the ‘I don’t give a 5h!t’ attitude bad right now, HOWEVER, I am going to join in on the fun with Excelsior (that may change) and offer words of encouragement. I planned on Bandeira (I did it in the spring at a reduced intensity) but even that seems too daunting. Is everyone meeting up on Discord again and does anyone know the thread name? ---

Well I guess I´ve done my disaster today 🙂 ![EVERESTING Basecamp 334 vs Disaster 264](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/3/9/392188856bd1e0d690ec1da07de8b43d74e8a3a0.png) More time and higher TSS on this vEveresting basecamp.

I think that invite link is expired. Can you generate a new one? I wasn’t able to join disaster last year as it would have been right after a week of riding at Tenerife and I was completely cooked. No such problems this year and I just got my trainer set up nicely at a new apartment. So maybe this is the year… ---

Today was the day for me. Disaster -2, and my longest trainer ride to date. I knew going in to this one I was going to cap the second 10 min threshold interval otherwise I would fall apart early on, otherwise everything else seemed mostly doable. I barely got through that second threshold interval and the last 30 seconds of the third vo2 interval was murder. Happy to be done with this one and ready to take it easy the rest of the day! ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/b/7/b7746ce89982f448dc1f7d31f6e159456ed6f1df.jpeg) ---

Was a lot tougher than last year, as my FTP is about 15W higher than a year ago. I had to take breaks even on the VO2 efforts, and I decided to skip most of the sprints of the fireworks. Even though I had to take those breaks, I’m pleased how this went. There has been quite big changes compared to last year (relatively big bump on FTP, new trainer (last year KICKR Snap and now KICKR, which makes it tougher) and so on). But I’m also glad it’s done for this year now. 🙂 [Previous page](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/official-world-wide-disaster-2020-thread/47364.md?page=3) [Next page](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/official-world-wide-disaster-2020-thread/47364.md?page=5)
