I am always fascinated by names that seem incredibly appropriate for the owner's life story. I'm not talking about a butcher named Butcher or a surgeon named Cutter. That is too trite. I mean something like a wealthy 6-year old girl named Whitney Rothschild. I mean, is there a better name for a little girl anywhere? And a lot of these fashion designers like Ermenegildo Zegna. You have to wonder if the name was adopted after the vocation was chosen. And Buzz Vickery has to be added to my list. It just rings so true for a guy who does the equivalent of RAAM on a trainer.

The RAAM is a bit longer than 1 day.

Poetic license! Besides on a trainer I'm sure a whole day feels like a week on the road.

I do sufferfest videos, have started on one of their training plans, and have heard of the knight of sufferlandia thing.....there is no way I would be doing that. The thought of finishing 10 of their videos back to back in the same day puts me in the mood to crawl into a fetal position on the ground.

Good luck with it; hope you do well.

So how did it go?

In the motorcycling world, they have various "iron butt" challenges, however with the "don't exceed the speed limit rule, most are seeminly impossible (1000mi in XX hours, etc). Accomplishment is measured by time/date stamps on gas recipts.

if if a suffer fest was to be an accomplishment do they have power meter requirements and measurements to keep it honest? 10-11 hours of honest heart rate, cadence and power output is respectable.

I guess he suffered hard and is still recooping from effort.

and getting an arse replacement.

thats the one thing I find tough with doing trainer stuff, cuz you dont move around like on a real bike, its way harder on the keester.

......... and there's no coasting. the Sufferfest videos stop if you stop pedaling.
