No matter how fresh you are you won't be able to ride strong for 7 days, that's the point. You'll be fucked however fresh you are, but be too fresh and your body will shut down sooner as it's not sued to riding.
Arive at TSB 0 you'll be tired in 2 days
Arrive at TSB 20-30 you'll be tired but then still not too tired
Arrive at TSB 50 you'll be too fresh but then still not too tired and not overload enough.I know you werent saying I was wrong, it's all personal opinion.

I see your point, and I didn't mean to suggest in my above post you're wrong, but I'm just cautious.
I do want the mega overload and the benefits this will bring, and I'll be disappointed if I'm not a dribbling wreck when I'm home. However, I want to be able to ride strong the whole time and not have the last days as a day of pure pain and embarrassment. But I think that will be as much about daily pacing as much as fitness/ fatigue etc beforehand.
How long was transcontinental and what kinda ride was it?
I'm probably over thinking this a lot...
