If you care to share, I'd love to hear more of your training plan
I've never had issues with them on a ride, but since I lost my vision insurance plan, I've been "stretching" the useful life of my disposable contacts. I almost always have to discard the pair I used after a long ride, so I figured I would keep these in and discard them after the ride - big mistake!!! Live and learn!

In terms of training, I do two 90 minute high intensity interval computrainer classes during the week, and then one long ride on the weekend. I built up from 100 milers in October/November to 200ks (3 of them) in December/January); two 300ks in February/March; a 400k in April and then DMD (206 miles) in April. Between long rides, I will throw in 40 - 80 milers on off weekends. All that worked great.
