I like “stupid” challenges (like Disaster Day and the FTP challenge, etc.). So, I came up with my own. This is for you @Nate_Pearson: There are currently five versions of Baxter (please don’t create any more of them!); doing all of them back to back to back takes 7.5 hours. I did four of them today (not Baxter+2). That took 5.5 hours. I am thinking about doing all of them in a few weeks. Of course, with the weather finally improving this may have to wait until fall… Anybody up for it?
I’d thought of this one a while ago, it should be called ‘The back to Baxter’.

Sounds like a really bad idea. I may just have to do this…

7.5 hours at Endurance Pace? Too bad the Wahoo doesn’t have a tail pipe to suck on.

That’s a long time on the trainer… but if you set a date I’ll do it.
I doubt I will do it with the dawn of outside riding and racing season upon me.
But I can almost see doing this in conjunction with a virtual Everest attempt that I have considered for the fall season… TR Baxter chain for ERG control at a good pace and Zwift on the PC for distraction and a dual event… hmmm.

I sort of did it. I wasn’t able to do all five (family obligations). I got up at 2:30 (yes!) and did four of them. I skipped Baxter -2 which means 6.5 hours of Baxter. I did Baxter -2 yesterday. Anybody else?

Uhhhh no lol
I have a personal mini training camp in 2 months so may do it then.
Honestly great job though, would love to hear about the experience- mental and physical

That would be cool. Alpe Du Zwift x 9. Climb for an hour, then let the avatar descend on its own while you take a pee break. Turn your avatar around after it stops at the bottom and go again. Repeat.

Yup, that is the one I may try.

I meant to respond to this earlier but forgot. It actually wasn’t bad at all. I think it is easier to do 6.5 hours with four different workouts than doing one single 6.5 hour TR workout. I started with Baxter+2 to get the longest one out of the way, then Baxter+1, then Baxter, then Baxter-1. I think I will try to do all five at some point but it will have to wait until after the summer I think.
I also have taken to Monitor now. There are too many Monitor workouts to do them all in a row - even for me. I’ll have to think about how to set it up.
