Choosing between two

If two protocols suit the same dates, choose by the hardest day rather than by the region. Each sheet carries an effort profile that shows where the hardest day falls. A protocol with its peak near the start leaves the last days quiet; one with the peak in the middle suits people who like to warm up first.
