Dear

Imagine the clock's relentless ticking, the burn in your quads, the fire in your lungs. That was me, yesterday. Engulfed in the pain and promise of an FTP test that would redefine my limits.

It all started in my pain cave, the glow of the morning barely peeking through. My turbo trainer was the stage, my bike the trusty steed.

The goal? Simple, yet monumental – to nail my FTP test and chart the course of my cycling year.

I kicked off with gusto, those first five minutes were poetry in motion, a symphony of power and speed. I was Hercules on wheels, unstoppable, a force of nature. But soon, reality bit back hard. The initial rush waned, and what followed was nothing short of a battle between will and waning energy.

Minute six morphed into a siren call to surrender. By minute ten, every sinew screamed for reprieve. I was no longer just riding; I was waging war with the very essence of my being. The final stretch was a blur – time stretched, and pain became my world.

As the timer hit the 20-minute mark, I was a concoction of agony and triumph. I had pushed through the inferno, my legs leaden but my spirit ablaze. The number on the screen? A testament to the suffering, a badge of honour, my new FTP score. It wasn't just a number; it was a declaration of my commitment, a promise of the growth to come.

Now, here's the kicker, the golden nugget, the lesson in this tale of torment – never, ever give up. When the ride gets brutal, when your lungs are on fire, and your muscles plead for mercy, that's the moment of truth. It's the crucible where champions are forged and goals are grasped.

The rewards for such endurance are colossal. On the other side of that suffering lies progress, pride, and untapped potential. You'll emerge stronger, faster, a rider reborn. And the beauty of it all? This transformation isn't reserved for the chosen few; it's there for you, too.
