Sufferfest on a CompuTrainer – Version 3
Version 3 of the Sufferfest/CompuTrainer ERG File Spreadsheet is now available for download. Version 3 adds an ERG file for the latest Sufferfest video, Extra Shot.
In addition, I’ve had a few requests to start the ERG file at the very beginning of the video, instead of when the video title first appears on the screen. I set up the original spreadsheet with the start-up delay in order to give me time to start the video , get everything arranged, realize that I can’t reach my towel, etc. But, I want everyone to be happy, so I added a start time field to the tab for each video. The default will be the current time delay, but you can now specify the elapsed video time when you want to start the ERG file. If you want to start as soon as the video starts, enter a zero in the green box.
Thanks to fellow Sufferlandrian Graham Dunn for suggesting a simpler calculation of the workout time.

Sure appreciate the work that has gone in to this. Any plan to add the newest sufferfest videos to the mix? Not sure if there is a newer update. Sufferfest should be throwing you some freebies for your work here. I would donate to the cause. Thanks
I’ve done the timing for both Violator and ISLAGIATT but work, family and some travel have taken up way too much of my time lately. The plan is to get the videos test ridden and the spreadsheet updated this weekend (but I’ve had plans before).
David at The Sufferfest has been very generous. The spreadsheet is free but, if you feel the need to chip in, you can do one of two things. There is a link to my PayPal account on the download page (http://viewsoftheroad.com/sufferfest-erg-spreadsheet/) if you want to drop in a few coins. There is also a link to the Sufferfest videos on the home page of this site. The next time you want to buy a new video, click that link to get to the Sufferfest order page. It won’t cost you any extra but I get a little out of each purchase.
I know this is really old. But as I still use my computrainer(subscription fatigue keeps me on it) and I have lot of downloaded sufferfest videos. Is there somewhere I can get the ERG spreadsheets? The links to go nowhere.
