My problem (had this happen this weekend) was that the weeks 4 and 5 are real monsters, specially the saturday and sunday rides. I absolutely nailed Mary Austin and the week prior nailed Cap Peak (although it was a slog). However, asking to do the 2hr High SS workout (really its basically borderline threshold) the next day absolutely kills me; I think I realized I need at least 1 day between the stupid O/U workouts and such a high long Sunday ride. I tried to do Tallac +3 this sunday after Mary on Saturday and had to bail on the first interval. Heart rate was fine, but my legs were not going to survive that workout. Was really eye opening to me; how strong I felt on the O/U but how much they really take out of you. I feel like putting them so close together is ambitious at best, but I can see how with limited time it sort of is the only logical place to place them. Absolute killers though. I think I will space the next week workouts out more so I can recover after the O/U masochist ride.
