I just got a go pro and plan to record some of my favorite routes. I will post them to EN if I get around to doing this. I want to overlay some aggressive music to go with it.
@Chris, I often do something similar to Kim: Use a SF video and tweak the intervals, intensity, etc to match up with my assigned EN workout. I.E. I do the assigned EN workout while watching a SF video, NOT riding the SF intervals as they lay out. Sometimes during my Saturday ride, I'll let myself 'play' after I've gotten the work done, but only on that one. I'd caution going after "more TSS points". Only you know if your body can handle that and you are your best coach. However, since you've already done one OS, I'd ask you to think back to the last four weeks of your last OS and see if you remember having extra in the tank or if you felt you were not working hard enough? We're still relatively early and lots of us still feel jumpy, especially you and me who dropped in the JOS a week late.
FWIW, I've also created some youtube video mixes (mostly user generated videos with good music and good distracting eye candy) that I like to ride/workout watching. Lots of AC/DC, Linkin Park, and electro/techno stuff. We each like what we like. Unlike other folks, I C.A.N.N.O.T. watch a tv show, movie, sporting event and get a workout at the same time. I don't understand how peeps do that. Good luck!
I can't really focus on a TV show either. I just put on bad action movies that I have seen a million times, Terminator 2, Gladiator, Expendables, Blood Sport, etc... I like the sufferefest videos, they just don't always map to the workout for the week, especially the VO2 type intervals we do.
Peter - cool idea! I used my gopro during the bike of a sprint tri relay. It's 38 mins of me passing everyone and saying "on your left" over and over. I could post that one....
Another tip. I browse netflix on my phone the night before and pick something to watch, otherwise I will waste 15 minutes at 4:30 AM trying to pick something on Netflix.
I don't have y'all's problem with TV shows-just finished 2nd season Orange is new Black, and am finishing true detective on HBO GO. Looking forward to Weeds or maybe making my husband happy and finally watching the Wired. Last year was all 5 seasons Breaking Bad. This is about the only time I watch TV
Last year, all five seasons of "Breaking Bad" as well. This year's guilty pleasure: "Sons of Anarchy". Random acts of violence and dialogue generally comprised of words of one syllable so as not to tax the oxygen deprived brain. Am I a bad person? ;-)

Here is a sample ride:

The first half of that ride maps perfectly to 2x20'
