D day for me came at end of week 1 of ssb2 MV. Did nothing Sunday and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday sessions were good, Thursday was a a struggle to finish then the wheels came off Saturday and Sunday sessions. Disaster took a week to take its toll.

Not sure it was a conscious decision 
, I just seem to gravitate towards tempo wattage and at that point it just felt easy so I rode it by feel. The caffeine was probably kicking in at that point as well! 
I also tend to ride harder in most recovery phases than the prescribed 40% of FTPā¦not just in Disaster but since I started using TR. For me 40% is so low it puts more saddle pressure than I want and I might as well be back-pedaling. 50ā55% is my usual self-selected recovery wattage.

Wholly Christmas, that was a ride!
Finished it at 100% on rollers with 5 bottles, a few clif bars and some honey stingers. Not a tonne of breaks with total ride time of 4:35. The sprints at the end were by far the toughest as my balance was not what it needed to be to do standing sprints so it was all seated power. All in all, happy with the ride and I wonāt feel guilty at all about taking a few days off to enjoy family and friends during the holidays.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Finally came around to doing this. Broke it up into two rides, so yesterday and today.
Had to turn down the intensity here and there as Iām out of form and out of practice when it comes to suffering.

I just added the Disaster -2 to next Saturday, will hopefully be trying that on Sat or Sun, depending on when I get the bike operational again after the ātuning sessionā on Saturday.
Weāll see how it goes.

Disaster -2 done. Felt actually sort of easy. Had to take one break to fill the bottles, but otherwise all went as planned.

How do you like beta fuel? Do you need water to go with it? In your fueling strategy I only see electrolyte/energy drinks with it. Have you tried fueling with just Beta Fuel?
Can someone with admin rights to the Discord drop in and tidy up a little. Maybe lock it to new members or something until DD2!
