You get "better" by paying attention to your pace. You get better by understanding the importance of rest.The problem (most likely) isn't your fuel - its you.
Unfortunately, this is likely the truth. I jumped on this thread hoping for a quick solution, and the answer is, there is no quick solution. If I am going to ride with faster people, I am going to get blown fast, until I am in the same condition as the faster people. TE3, I think it is time to listen to my wife. She says, "it just means you need to ride more." Where's the downside?
