what fats were you eating for fuel?
So I didn't actually eat anything on that ride (other than a protein shake) -- I don't usually for a 2-3 hour ride, and it kind of escaped me that might be more painful than usual. I enjoyed some eggs, creamed coconut, and peanut butter when I got home. (Suprised at the carb content of PB. The creamed coconut is great -- 3g of carbs, 10g of fat). But basically, I got through the day by virtue of passing out for a few hours in the middle of the day.
And trust me, I understand about training going to ****. Last time I tried something like this, I timed a 14.7 flying 200 at the end of the week. Yah, you read that right. 14.7, that's literally worse than the first flying 200 I ever did, on the rental bike with an 81 inch gear when I didn't know how to get out of the saddle. The worst part? It felt fast/hard. Lolz.
