To prove it's somewhat a personal determination, I'm the total opposite when it comes to long rides. My
PR 100k and 200k times have been set when I had a sausage McMuffin and hash brown for breakfast. My
PR 300k time was set with the same breakfast, plus a Pepsi and 2 corn-dogs from a gas station for lunch. I also had a bahn-mi with some kinda hot peppers on it.
